HI,
The SYS_INST has to be in the 'root' directory of the 'server'. In
your configuration it schould be
/usr/export/hp, shouldn't it?

Betreff: 	Problems netbooting hp300

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.
