>Description:
The secondary bootstrap (/usr/mdec/boot) crashes when trying to netboot:
(bootdevice tftp)

NetBSD/newsmips Secondary Boot

TLB miss exception (Load or instruction fetch)
cause=8, sr=40c404, badvaddr=4c, epc=a07066a0
[Freeze]

Compiled with BOOT_DEBUG (common and boot):

NetBSD/newsmips Secondary Boot
HB system.
howto = 0x0
bootdev = 0xffffffff
bootname = /tftpboot/a020005.news3400
maxmem = 0xff8000

TLB miss exception (Load or instruction fetch)
cause=8, sr=40c404, badvaddr=4c, epc=a0706800
[Freeze]

>How-To-Repeat:
See above
>Fix:
Not known, the workaround I use:
Make a copy of your kernel in ecoff format with objcopy(1) and
boot that with tftpboot (in usr/mdec.mips) from NEWS OS 4.1.

 Well, netboot on NWS-3xxx machines is not supported (yet?).
 It only works on NWS-5000 machines which support tftp() on PROM.

 Should the bootloader warn about it?

 It should do something other than stepping on a null pointer... :-/

State-Changed-Why:
Needs some workaround.
Note even though NWS-3410 is disless model but it also has
a SCSI interface and you can boot NetBSD from SCSI disk or floppy.
To make SCSI default boot device, use "set bootdev=scsi" on PROM prompt.
