I think older might be the direction to go in.  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..

Sorry to be of so little help,

Drew
