Subject: Help network booting netBSD 1.6 on a Netra T1.

I've began installing 1.6 sparc 64 via miniroot on a Netra T1 but I had
problems with the kernel recognizing my NIC cards. These NIC cards
defaulted to gem0 & gem1.  I even tried to set up an IP address for them
using the miniroot "ifconfig" but it would not pick up an IP address. I
ran the installer anyways, and went through the stages of partitioning
the drive, etc...  But it would not FTP the packages because the problem
I had with "ifconfig".

I have deleted the Solaris partitions with my Netbsd 1.6 install
attempts and I can not boot into miniroot anymore.  Now I need to boot
over the network from the prom.  I've tried to get some information on
this because and I can not find a good document.  Is there a online
manual that would take me through this.  I have a Freebsd 4.7 box that
can be used as a boot server.  Thanks in advance.
