You see about the following messages:
>> boot bootp()/vmlinux
73264+592+11520+331680+27848d+3628+5792 entry: 0x8df9a960
Setting $netaddres to 192.168.1.5 (from server deadmoon)
Obtaining /vmlinux from server deadmoon
Cannot load bootp()/vmlinux
Illegal f_magic number 0x7f45, expected MIPSELMAGIC or MIPSEBMAGIC.
This problem only happens for Indys with very old PROM versions which cannot
handle the ELF binary format which Linux uses. A solution for this problem is in
the works.

I have seen this before and i think i simply used the .ecoff
variant (elf2ecoff conversion made at "make boot")
