After spending a few hours culling man pages and properly setting up
tftpd, bootp, and rarpd, I got a Netra 105 T1 to load a FreeBSD
5.4-RELEASE kernel. After succesfully pulling the files it desired via
TFTP, I was dropped back to an ok> prompt. Since I'd been shooting
from the hip to begin with, I typed boot kernel on a whim and watched
the box start "Resetting...". It sat at "Resetting..." for a good
minute, so I powercycled the box.

Now I cannot get past the LOM prompt, and while the box does poweron,
the SCSI drive does spin up, and LOM does work flawlessly (nothing out
of the ordinary sans alarm3, LOM not being 'petted') I cannot get an
ok prompt whatsoever. I've tried numerous resets, which do show up in
the event log to no avail. A bit of googling turns up a few other lost
souls in the same predicament with no resolution and a suggestion of
bad hardware. I find it kind of hard to swallow my Netra would decide
to bite the dust *right* after loading a FreeBSD kernel.

Can anyone on the list shed some light on what I can do next that may
revive this box? Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list.
