Darn.  I've seen that before but was hoping it was limited to problems
caused by all the eth1's having the same MAC address back in the bad old
days.

It appears the tftp loader is sensitive and allergic to delayed UDP 
datagrams.  You'll have to copy the tftp image to a much closer
computer and tftp it from there.

If you have a 2nd debian machine around you can install the tftpd
package and stick the deb-nw file from disks-arm/current/ into your
/boot directory on that machine.

Alternatively, assuming you have a bootable netwinder, you could
stick it in /deb-nw on the target netwinder and just change your
NeTTrom "setenv kernfile /deb-nw".

deb-nw is just a fairly large kernel image as far as nettrom knows.
