Well, I just got set up with a console again, and now I'm trying to get
my machine to boot netbsd.  Last night a built a kernel from tar_files on
the 5th.  I added Gordon's nfsdiskless patches rather than trying to go
the filehandle route.  Cross-compiled from NetBSD/amiga with few
problems, though I had to make a few minor changes to the Makefile,
since it's set up from SunOS right now.  Set up amiga to be a boot host. 
First I set it up for booting SunOS diskless and tried that, and it
worked OK.  Then, I replaced a few files in the diskless root filesystem
(vmunix, init, sh, date, etc) with NetBSD versions, and tried again. 
Didn't work. 

the netbsd kernel gives me this (some stuff scrolled out the top of my
buffer, but the important stuff is there):

Now I'm assuming here that I did something goofy with my boot server
setup. 

I have directory /usr/export/root/fezzik
and a swap file  /usr/export/swap/fezzik

I exported both "/usr/export/root/fezzik" and "/usr/export/swap/fezzik".
SunOS was happy with that. I also tried "/usr/export/swap" instead of
swap/fezzik, but I get the same results. Any ideas?

My system is a 3/60, 24M, console currently on ttyb.
