System: NetBSD zelz19 1.1 NetBSD 1.1 (MIST) #11: Fri Dec 1 19:15:50 MET 1995 root@zelz19:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/MIST i386


>Description:
	On little-endian machines, bootparam fails.
	A bad (truncated) remote port number will be cached after the whoami call and
	used for subsequent root and swap calls.
	(This was already addressed in pr misc/1404, but it appeares again
	in current sources.)
>How-To-Repeat:
	Build a network booter on i386.
>Fix:
	This works for me:
