Help!

I'm trying to set up a machine to boot using pxe and have run into an
odd problem.

The box (a Soekris 4510) load pxeboot via TFTP prints a few lines of
text then reboots - the last text I see is:

> Building the boot loader arguments
> Relocating the loader and the BTX
> Starting the BTX loader
There is no further net traffic after the last tftp packet.

I'm stumped - I thought it might be a cpu issue (the Soekris is a 486
clone) so I rebuilt pxeboot with -march=i486 and it didn't make any
difference.

At this point I'm out of ideas ....
