I think I FOUND solution. What is your server and your diskless?
Problem is that P6 optimized init does not work on K6 :-(
Also if you wish use etherboot, you need copy your kernel into
/tftpboot
I have tested this. I don't have yet working config, but I simple
copied kernel to /tftpboot and made "init" like this:
main() { reboot(0); }
I my diskless now constantly reboots!!! :-) That is very good.
I made 2 mistakes during testing: puts, write etc. does not work in
"init" even statically linked, because my libs was for P6. And I have
K6-2 diskless. Now I'm rebuilding world for i386. Then I'll install it
into /usr/local/Diskless and I hope I'll have working config :-)
