Are there any known problems with rarpd in NetBSD 1.4.3? I used
to netboot sparcs from my laptop when it was running 1.4.2, but now
with 1.4.3 and the exact same setup, I can't get it to work. All I get
is:
Feb 22 19:25:39 jnlap rarpd[221]: received packet on ep0
Feb 22 19:25:39 jnlap rarpd[221]: no IP address for 08:00:20:80:9b:7f
I triple checked everything. My /etc/ethers has:
00:03:e3:c2:00:0a sparc32
08:00:20:80:9b:7f sparc64
My /etc/hosts has:
192.168.1.14 sparc32
192.168.1.15 sparc64
and my /etc/nsswitch.conf has:
hosts: files dns
Just to make sure I wasn't going crazy, I tried netbooting from my
gateway machine which is still running 1.4.2 (it will probably get
moved to 1.5.3 when that is released) and it worked fine. I even tried
copying rarpd from the 1.4.2 machine to my laptop and it still didn't
work. Does anybody have any ideas? I don't want to upgrade my laptop
to 1.5.x since it is only a 486SX/33 with only 8M RAM.
