Ah.  But I *did* have an old instance running as a daemon.  Hm.  I
thought it ran from inetd.  Anyways, I've killed it, but I am still
failing to netboot.

And my laptop just shows a blinking earth picture.

By the way, does anyone know how to netboot from Open Firmware?  I
tried typing 'boot net', but this doesn't seem to work; it just goes
straight into the MacOS on the hard disk (I don't see any DHCP
requests).  Also, 'boot enet' spews something about load-size or
somesuch and keeps me at the OF prompt.  Doing 'setenv auto-boot?
true', then rebooting and holding down 'n' works (well, for some
values of works).
