Hi,
  Odd problem here. Decided to move my SLC from netbooting from my linux
box to my SS1 netbsd box. I copied everything over, setup rarpd,
bootparams and nfs, then set the SLC on it's merry way. All looked fine
till it came to mount it's root fs, when it stopped, seemingly doing
another rarp lookup. The SLC is called spatula (192.168.1.19) and the SS1
is whisk (192.168.1.6).

kernel messages on whisk, (spatula) and [comments]
[I set spatula booting]

[spatula stops booting and prompts for root device]

Any ideas? I'm sure I've not changed anything since I had it booting from
my linux box (but I've not got rarp and bootparams setup on that box
anymore, making it hard to check if it's working)
