Hello,

I'm new to NetBSD, because I want to use an old Iris Indigo again.
It has PROM version 4.0 Rev A HP1 (1991), but no CDROM drive at all. So
I decided to try a netboot;

I read some docs on the internet, and set up dhcp (ISC-DHCP), tftp
(tftp-hpa) and nfs (nfs-kernel-server) on my Linux laptop.
I also used those options: 

# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc
# echo "2048 32767" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range

Then, on the Indigo, I did and get:

         Running power-on diagnostics

System Maintenance Menu

5) Enter Command Monitor

Option? 5
Command Monitor. Type "exit" to return to the menu.
>> resetenv
>> bootp():/netbsd-sigmipd
Setting $netaddr to 192.168.1.2 (from server  )
Obtaining  from server
2971440+337444+209408 entry: 0x80002000

And there is traffic on the network (for +-60sec), the file is retrieved
(I don't get any error on server side) but nothing more...

The kernel on my tftp server is netbsd.ecoff-GENERIC32_IP12.gz (from
NetBSD-3.1, gunzipped, of course)

What's wrong? Is it an error (it seems not human readable ;-)) Why are
the server IP and filename not shown? What should I get, normally?

Regards,
