Hello,

I've succeeded in netbooting on an Ultra2, using a RH 6.2 system
w/ arp/rarp + tftp + bootparams + nfs.

I see the normal dmesg output etc. etc. correctly identifying the
ethernet card and so on, but then:

hme1 at sbus0 slot 14 offset 0xc00000 vector 21 ipl 6: address 08:00:20:82:72:79

On the RH 6.2 system, bootparamd -d was saying:
getfile got question for "casimir" and file "gateway"
getfile failed for casimir

In /var/log/messages:
Jun 15 17:30:52 meco08 kernel: svc: unknown version (3) 

Any clues?  Thanks!
