Does anyone know what might be happening here? Is this a known bug in the bootrom? More info - tcpdump on the server shows the tftp reply packets with blocksize 512 being sent out so there doesn't actually seem to be any ip fragmentation happening. Booting IRIX and running 'tftp get' works ok so it's only the rom that fails. Oh and this is quite an early Indy, so it may well have a buggy rom. Any help appreciated. thx Andrew Cannon
