Hi James,
I believe you are correct that you appear to be setting the osloader
wrong. I use "setenv osloader aoutboot" and "setenv osloadfilename
netbsd". Perhaps you need the ecoff kernel but my indy 5k doesn't. The
rest of your hvram settings look fine. Also, in case someone wonders
the 3.0 iso images are not bootable on my box. The older bootable 3.99
images are bootable, so then the best way to update is manually with tar
and do a diff on /etc ( unpack etc.tgz somewhere other than / first ) by
hand and moving the changes into place into /etc.
Cheers,
Rod Ross
