The problem looks like it's part of the tftpboot process...I'm booting
off a Mac running LinuxPPC (tried it with kernel 2.1.103 and 2.1.24);
according to a tcpdump of the install process the tftp fetch hanging
close to the end with the client (the machine I'm trying to install on)
repeatedly ACKing the server.

I *can* get the standard RH4.2/sparc install to boot.  Is there any
chance I can use the older installer with the Ultralinux distribution?

Thanks,
