I am trying to netboot a HP9000 345 workstation (BOOTROM Rev.D) with
the SYS_INST from NetBSD 1.3.1.
I have a PC running NetBSD 1.3.1 with all the right configuration (I think).
pc's ethernet address is 00:80:AD:12:C8:A0
hp's ethernet address is 08:00:09:07:3E:52
These are the only machines on the network.
On pc I have the following configuration:
/etc/hosts:
192.168.10.1 pc
192.168.10.2 hp
/etc/rbootd.conf:
08:00:09:07:3E:52 SYS_INST
The SYS_INST file is in /usr/mdec/rbootd
/etc/ethers:
08:00:09:07:3E:52 hp
/etc/bootparams:
hp root=pc:/usr/export/hp
/etc/exports:
/usr -maproot=root -alldirs hp
All the necessary daemons are running on pc (rbootd, rpc.bootparamd,
mountd, nfsd, rarpd).
When I boot hp I get the following on the screen:
At the top right hand corner:
:LAN,21. 0080AD12C8A0 pc
1Z SYS_INST
At the bottom left hand corner:
"System search mode" is flashed up briefly
"Booting system" is flashed up briefly
"SYSTEM NOT FOUND" is displayed.
On pc in /var/log/messages the following line is logged:
May 16 10:06:44 pc rbootd[222]: 08:00:09:07:3e:52: request to boot SYS_INST
(granted)
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul.
