Hi,
sorry for the off-topic question, but I don't have clues at what's wrong
and I need the anserw for tomorow :)
Did someone manage to netboot a solaris 2.7 (2.5.1 would do it as well)
from a NetBSD server ?
I've set up the server this way:
/tftpboot:
total 272
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  daemon      28 Dec 20 16:56 84E33F6F -> inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_2.7-1
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  daemon      28 Dec 20 16:56 84E33F6F.SUN4U -> inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_2.7-1
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  daemon  129632 Dec 20 16:56 inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_2.7-1
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  daemon       1 Dec 20 16:56 tftpboot -> .

/etc/bootparams contains:
toccata root=jazz:/home/solaris/Solaris_2.7/Boot       install=armandeche:/cdrom boottype=:in    rootopts=:rsize=32768

(these values were added by solaris's add_install_client script).

Now here's the console output:
Rebooting with command: boot net -vs

Error 128 is 'network unreachable'; also I don't have any clues why it asks
for ether addr of 0.0.0.0.
I also tried to use a solaris2.7 box as server, but I couldn't get
rpc.boorparamd to work.

Any infos greatly appreciated.
