It sounds like the boot program is failing.  What SunOS version is the
boot program from?  (i.e. /tftpboot/boot.sun3)

Do you have a third machine on the wire (not server or client) that
can snoop with tcpdump to see exactly where it dies?

Can you get into the PROM on the 3/60 by sending a "line-break"?
If so, where was it executing when you interrupted it?
