I want to install the potato pre-release. I am currently d/loading the iso's. Odd, IIRC the nonames are half-flash systems, i.e. they can only hold one firmware at a time? Anyway, from the SRM prompt type 'show ewa0*' (without the single quotes) to make sure your ethernet is found and has the correct settings. Assuming that is all setup correctly, you should be able to type: 'boot -proto bootp ewa0 -flags "root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.1"' (minus the single quotes, changing as necessary). You should be able to type 'help boot' and get a list of other options. If not I can dig out a couple of manuals and probably find what you need. If you have another Linux/UNIX system to prep the hdd on, it may be easier then netbooting.. I don't remember if there is a netboot image on in the ISO images?
