I really tried to track the problem down, but I lack both time and
experience. I'd really like to know if anybody else had similar
problems netbooting their Sun 3's with -current, especially the 3/60,
and how he/she solved it.
I know that the project includes many coding areas, but if anyone
has time to spend on this, my results point me to somewhere in a
call to mtod in line 670 of nfs_socket.c (as of Apr 09 1997). I
don't want to bias any search, however.
