It should work now. :-) I've been meaning to go through and export the SRM netboot environment variables into the loader and from the loader to the kernel. This would save SRM doing a dhcp, netboot doing dhcp and then the kernel also doing a dhcp. This would solve the problems we see on the alpha ports cluster where for some reason the loader netboot packets disappear into the void.
