Here's some additional information:

>>> show ver

          PST: 17B
          CON: 1C7
          VMB: V6.4
          ROM: 263

Trying BOOTP
Using IP address: 10.1.1.12
myip:  (10.1.1.12), mask: 255.255.255.0
root addr=10.1.1.10 path=/common/netroots/nettie
841724+43856+159808 +[64440+72748] total=0x120b78

and then nothing happens...
Any ideas?
