We are trying to use our DECstation to boot a Sun-3 from
the network and having problem in the boot process.

Here's the syslog mesg:

Apr 12 13:03:18 localhost: 11593 rarpd: Started

Apr 12 13:04:08 localhost: 11594 rarpd: Address family not supported by protocol family write to device failed

And also this kernel mesg:

	net_output: ln0: can't handle af3.

Does anybody have any idea what might went wrong?

Thanks a lot.
