     I have beneath my desk an Ultra 1 (well, an 'Ultra Enterprise 1,' 
     actually; is there a difference?) that's just waiting to run NetBSD.  
     It has no OS on it at the moment, and I'd like to save the pain of 
     installing solaris only to take it off again. When I try to netboot it 
     using ofwboot.net from the 1999-01-04 snapshot, it gives me the 
     following:
     
     14a00 >> NetBSD/sparc64 OpenFirmware Boot, Revision
     >> (eeh@nonplus.one-o.com, Tue Jan 12 19:18:31 PST 1999)
     open /sbus@1f,0/ledma@e,8400010/le@e,8c00000/netbsd: Inappropraite 
     file type or format
     Boot:
     
     Note that after the end of the TFTP transfer, I see no more packets on 
     the wire. What's it looking for here?
