hi, i'm tinkering around with some sun3s

on booting a 3/60, it stops with a timeout
anyone any idee..??

this is what it shows:

Booting from tftp server at 193.78.85.13 = C14E550D
Downloaded 14336 bytes from tftp server.

>> NetBSD netboot [$Revision: 1.5$]
Using IP Address 193.78.85.41 = C14E5529
boot: client addr: 193.78.85.41
boot: client name: sun60
boot: subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
boot: net gateway: 193.78.85.13
netif_get: timeout; resetting
netif_get: timeout; resetting
netif_get: timeout; resetting
netif_get: timeout; resetting
net_open: bootparam/getfile RPC failed
boot: netbsd: Input/output error
boot:

the sun has 4mb, just anough i read on www
the server is a NetBSD/i386

also i noticed tftpd only being available once..
after one try i have to reboot.
and the tftpd works best when it's booted after
the client, before gives a lot more timeouts.
thanx,
