I downloaded Xkernel-root.tar.gz (md5sum =
efff357000ac05b0232f8ee5daaf8f61) from www.netbsd.org some time ago.
My Sun 3/60 won't boot with it.
I'm booting from a Linux machine over Ethernet. I set up RARP, run
tftpd out of /sunboot, copied the file 'Xkernel-root/netbsd' (md5sum =
a3e8d62082140b27b31e7e815cfdbb01) to /sunboot and make a symlink to it
called '0A0B124D', which is the name of the file my Sun is trying to
boot from.
The messages on the system console look like this:
Boot: le(0,0,0)
Requesting Internet address for 8:1:20:0:40:73
Using IP Address 10.11.18.77 = 0A0B124D
Booting from tftp server at 10.11.18.76 = 0A0B124C
[long pause here with spinning baton]
Downloaded 827549 bytes from tftp server.

Is something wrong with my setup or my kernel?
Next thing I'll try is downloading NetBSD 1.4 for the Sun3.
