>Description:
	the next68k bootloader frequently times out while loading the
kernel over NFS.  lossage seems very correlated w/ other traffic on the
segment: the load will usually succeed on an idle segment, but heavy use
will almost guarantee a timeout.
>How-To-Repeat:
	boot a next68k box on a busy ethernet.
>Fix:
	no idea, this is mostly a reminder for me to look at it later.

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed 
State-Changed-By: chs 
State-Changed-When: Thu Oct 24 22:03:01 PDT 2002 
State-Changed-Why:  
the bootloader now retransmits as necessary, which works around the 
real problem and is a good idea in general anyway.
