I've made some progress trying to install NetBSD onto a toshiba 3490ct
using pxeboot.

I think I've gotten pxeboot_ia32.bin to load via tftp, then the
INSTALL_LAPTOP kernel to load via tftp.  But relatively early the
kernel hangs.  I've tried with both -current and 4.0 kernels.

The console messages look something like this:

>> NetBSD/i386 PXE Boot 1.1

>> Memory 573/129920 k
Press return to boot now, any other key for boot menu

Then the show is over, frozen.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, or what I should try next?
