Ahh. That's probably because I have two ethernet cards, of which I'm only
using one.

The only difference I see is that I don't have rp being the tftp area, but
instead a seperate nfs-exported area.

What version of the firmware do you have? I have Apple PowerMac1, 1.0f3
BootROM built on 12/08/98 at 17:37:15

OpenFirmware 3.1.0


Maybe do a tcpdump on the server to see what gets read?

Take care,
