Thanks, I had no -s. I inserted -l -s /var/tftp, -l to get log in 
/var/log/messages

Now I get:==============

pxe_open: gateway ip:  192.168.0.1
Error: Stack underflow

/boot/kernel/kernel text=... ...
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command promt.
Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...
/boot/kernel/acpi.ko text=... ...
=========================

It appears that it tries to mount with nfs because when sniffing i see 
udp packets to port 2049. So then it hangs. I don't get to loading the 
memory file system.

If you have a working setup (loader.rc), would you share (mail off list 
if you prefer)?

Thanks.

Erik
