network boot problem

Hi,

I have this netboot problem?

It works with /usr/sbin/dhcpd on the server, with tfpd.
and /tftpboot/picodemo8.nbi which is requested over the network, from a
floppy with an image from romomatic.
So I am assumming that the booted image is not right.
Perhaps the target vendor needs a different id?
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

The picodemo8.nbi was a precompiled image I downloaded.
disnbi gives:

Booting does NOT work with the build product  hello.bt
