what is multi-use boot?

A typo. It is multi-user boot.

it doesn't want to let me do this.  i think because i should set an ip
address first?  how does one do that?

Maybe Warren knows the answer to this. There might be a bsd int command.
I don't know how the prom finds the IP address. The systems I worked
with seem to use the IP address that was configured when the
installation was done.

stripped?  does it have to be stripped?

The reason it was stripped is because the unstripped version that Dan
created was  20+ Mbytes and took too long to load so he stripped it to
get faster boot times.
