I have an old net bootblk, and I get with a a kernel I just compiled:

>> (eeh@nonplus.one-o.com, Fri Nov 17 08:27:28 PST 2000)

ok


But in grotting around on ftp.netbsd.org, all I see is ofwboot-1.5.gz, but
that works less well:

Hmmm. Do I have to download a snapshot to get a good netboot block?
