I could try that with the 270, although I
have read more successful boots with 1gb & 2gb. Not sure what
kernel is being shipped, though.
Would be helpful if I could modify the images to try some old
fixes. That way, I could see if it wants .ofppc64 as some earlier
discussion hinted at.
Discussion in question: http://netbsd.2816.n7.nabble.com/Current-hangs-at-boot-td195008.html Other notes: Would a default catch trigger if it can't find bootp? Not sure if that message was silent on 170/270 netboot (saw that while trying debug a 43P-150's netboot). (Pardon the late reply, messages seem to be eaten up from elsewhere).
