Okay, so it turns out I had the wrong hostname  in my bootparams file.

So now what happens is this (on the console):

    > boot
    Trying BOOTP
    bootp: no reply
    Using IP address: 192.168.1.20
    myip:  (192.168.1.20)
    root addr=0.0.0.0 path =/
    arp: no response for 0.0.0.0

Then it halts. Oh, BTW, this only happens after I have typed boot for
the second time at the NetBSD/VAX bootstrap program. The first time
around it still complains about the whoami. The Linux box is still
showing:

    Returning kyle   (none)    192.168.1.1

And I'm still a bit worried about the (none) bit.

Any ideas anyone?
