Trying again with the E30 I have: Replaced the network adapter with an
8-Z having an FRU number per the previous thread; SMS sees it and
attempts to boot from it.

Through packet capture, I can see (a) it acquiring an address via
BOOTP, (b) it contacting the TFTP server, and (c) it correctly
downloading the file via TFTP.

However it's just stuck on 'Starting software please wait' with no
further activity after that.

I've tried the GENERIC kernel in the install directory; the kernel from
the prep sets, uncompressed; and /usr/mdec/boot from the prep base set.
All cause the same behavior.

What's the correct file to use? A kernel, or is there a 2nd stage
bootstrap to send instead?
