We are trying to get two HP Appollo's to rboot off of a 486 running netBSD 1.1
on a token ring network. We believe we have everything configured correctly, 
but the HP's just sit around and look for their hosts.  Could this be
because the 486 is using frame type 802.3 and the HP's are using 802.2.

If you know anyway to correct this problem (if therein lies our problem)
any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!
