They have a history of breaking things in newer firmware revs. When I did the initial support for the TC machines, I was using a 3000/300lx w fairly old firmware. I don't have access to that machine, so I cannot check to see what firmware rev it was. I did it in August '98 & I'm trying to remember if I used our own netboot loader or the NetBSD one. I suspect the latter, so I think it might be worth trying to load our kernel from NetBSDs netboot loader..
