Hi,

Should the ofwboot in arch/sparc64/other on ftp.netbsd.org date July 5
be able to do a net boot on a Ultra 5?

I have tried it and gets a lot further than previous versions (they
crashed before even writing something to the console), but it does not
seem to cause any network traffic. I have looked with tcpdump and I
can see how ofwboot is downloaded, but then there is no more traffic.
The console output looks like this:

------

It will wait at the "Boot:" and when I press entercrash with the "Fast
