Hi,
I followed the instructions on the NetBSD diskless HOWTO-Websites for
booting over a network.
Everything runs well until the kernel gets loaded and then simply freezes
during the download as far as I can see, because the kernel is not running
yet ?!?
This is how my terminal output looks like:

It always stops at 1275524 ... ?!?

Any hints will be appreciated ...
