Hi all! We here at Concordia College are having problems booting two HP
Apollo 400 diskless workstations. We want to boot both of them from a
486/66 running FreeBSD with rbootd as the boot daemon. Here is a list of
the things we have done:
1) The Apollos are using the 10base2 connectors.
2) The machine we are trying to boot them from, Homer, has 8 bpf's
and also has rbootd, and it runs fine, no errors.
3) The machines are onthe same subnet.
4) The Apollos are using teh HP-UX boot mode.
I am not sure about the Apollos even sending packest out. tcpdump shows
nothing coming from them at all. They boot through their messages, and
then tehy get to a point where all they say is searching for system, or
preferred selection failed, depending on what config their boot-roms
have. If I tell them to search for a system, they give me the searching
error message, if I tell them to use selected system, they say preferred
selection failed. Frustrating! I am wondering if maybe I forgot about
another jumper to pull, or some software config that I have wrong? Any
help would be greatly appreciated!
