Trying to netboot a uvax3400/DESQA and 52M of ram, with bootp 2.4.3
running on
linux 2.2.5 and boot.mop from the 1.4_ALPHA area on netbsd ftp site.  I
have had
no luck with any of the 1.3.x stuff so trying the latest can't hurt.

/etc/bootptab

From the syslog of bootpd on the linux host:

Apr 13 12:23:34 dopey mountd[96]: / has been mounted by 192.168.80.13

On the vax console, the bootloader is mopped and the tries to autboot:
> boot netbsd
...
root addr=192.168.80.11 path=/
boot failed: No such file or directory

It then tries netbsd.gz, netbsd.old, and gennetbsd, all of which fail as
well.
After failing, if you then enter manually on the vax console, it loads:

> boot /tftpboot/netbsd

Is bootp just used so the vax can set up it's IP addr, and then the
bootloader loads the kernel via nfs?  If nfs, it seems that the
bootloader
does nat wait long enough for the nfs mount before loading??  How should
the :bf
and :hd bootptab entries be setup (or are they irrelevant)?

Anyhow, the kernel loads manually, but then it goes belly up
(from netbsd ftp 1.4):
