I get the same error on my IPX, 16mb. It wasn't this disk image, but I
don't know which one it is (didn't label the floppy). It was a cdm image,
I know, and it was at least 55 days old, because it had last been used to
boot the SS 1+ I took down when I brought the IPX up. It was a rescue disk
with a 2.2.14 kernel.
I then booted the 2.2.13c kernel-image on the harddrive, got unlazy and
installed the 2.2.14cdm kernel-image, and it works fine.
Haven't tried tftpboot either, and probably won't unless someone requests
me to. Too much uptime to catch up on :(
