I try to netboot NetBSD 1.2.1 from FreeBSD server. I do a diskless setup of the system (disk is empty). All just runs fine : rarp, bootparam, remote mount of / filesystem. Kernel starts, devices are displayed during probe : scsi,lan,disks ... The last thing displayed is the graphic card identification (cgthree, graphic color display). After this, system halts (no message) and return to an infinite loop with the (boot,continue,new) prompt. I have setup <root>/etc/fstab,myname and hosts as described in INSTALL document. All hardware tests pass fine. What is wrong :) ?
