This model is listed as "Doesn't appear to tftp boot correctly" on
http://www.NetBSD.ORG/Ports/pmax/board-list.html.

You should be able to leave it in - it'll show up as a:

	fta0: FDDI address 08:00:2b:a6:13:ea, FW= 1.1, HW=2, SMT V7.2
	fta0: FDDI Port = S (PMD = ANSI Single-Mode Type 1)

Do you still have you /25 running NetBSD?  I've got a severely hacked up
mopd that should let you boot the other box.  Another answer is to blat
the diskimage.gz onto a disk on the /25 and move that to the /240.
