I'm trying to debug a kernel problem with the RC1 install CD (I get a
hang) - basically playing with various kernel options and putting debug
printfs. 

pxeboot sounded like just the thing I needed - burning CDs or floppies
being too cumbersome for me. I've followed the recipe and get to the
point where control passed from pxeboot -> /boot/loader and
/boot/kernel/kernel has been loaded. However, when I hit:

OK boot -v
/
--> hang <--

The spinning slash stops spinning and the console hangs. I have a IBM
Thinkpad T23.

My question is, has anyone successfully used pxeboot on -current
recently, especially on a thinkpad ? If yes, what could I be doing wrong ?
Is this related to /boot/device.hints not being loaded ?
