Howdy guys,

I'm back and trying to get that 3100/m78 booting.  When last I tried it
was rather an old kernel.  I found something better and here's what I'm
seeing:

>>> b/100 esa0


Bootfile: mopboot

I'm having trouble passing the right parms via dhcpd on a Linux box.  In
fact, I can only get this far with the netbsd kernel in the NFS server's
root directory.  If I include an "option root-path" line in dhcpd.conf, I
can't even get the kernel to boot. I can't seem to find the aha! howto
section.  Anybody got a quick pointer for how I should continue the
installation?  I'd like to do the whole thing over NFS until I find some
decent scsi disks.
