Well, I fixed the netboot problem on the F40 (system firmware update) and
tried booting the sysinst_com0.fs image - here is the result:

>> NetBSD/prep BOOT, Revision 1.5

Boot: 
Loading in()

panic: Unknown PCI chipset tag configuration method

The operating system has halted.
Please press any key to reboot.


I tried the prep-residual-boot.fs image you post a while back and it stopped
like this:

panic: Unknown PCI chipset tag configuration method
Stopped in pid 0.1 () at        netbsd:cpu_Debugger+0x10:       lwz     r0, r1, 0

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with from here (remote
access to these systems is still in the works).

I'll get this to you later - thanks for helping.
