I could try that with the 270, although I have read more successful 
boots with 1gb & 2gb. Not sure what kernel is being shipped, though. 
Would be helpful if I could modify the images to try some old fixes. 
That way, I could see if it wants .ofppc64 as some earlier discussion 
hinted at.

Discussion in question:

Other notes:
Would a default catch trigger if it can't find bootp? Not sure if that 
message was silent on 170/270 netboot (saw that while trying debug a 
43P-150's netboot).

(Pardon the late reply, messages seem to be eaten up from elsewhere).

      &gt; Is this a 32-bit ofppc kernel? The PowerIII is a 64-bit CPU.
      Otherwise it<br>
      &gt; wouldn't be possible to access more than 4G of memory.<br>
      &gt; <br>
      &gt; In case you booted a 64-bit kernel we have a bug in ofppc64.
      What happens<br>
      &gt; when you remove some memory, so you have less than 4G?<br>
