Hi all,
I aquired another DEC 3000/300 today and its not responding as the other
two when I try to use bootp.
Heres the error and I don't see it covered in the INSTALL.html.

boot: boot device name does not contain ethernet address.
Boot device name was: "BOOTP 0 5 0 0 0 2 CORE-IO"
Your firmware may be too old to network-boot NetBSD/alpha,
or you might have to hard-code an ethernet address into
your network boot block with setnetbootinfo(8).

Ok so it tells me that my firmware is to old.
Is this really the prob or could something else be the issue.
I'm using bootp on a Linux box and installed NetBSD sucessfully to two
other Decstations identical to it. I don't have the Firmware version on
those atm.
Where can I get a newer firmware and how would you go about getting it
into the thing to flash it as it don't have an OS or floppy only the LAN
to boot off of.
Thanks
Terry
