It gets so far then fails to load anything else. On a possibly unrelated not: I have a FreeBSD machine here serving as boot and font server for 25 AT&T X terminals (NCR X terminals, really). The only problem I had was inetd bitched about tftp respawning too rapidly (each X terminal started and ran maybe 10 tftp sessions each time it rebooted). After hacking inetd to ignore "respawns" on tftpd, the problem was resolved.
