Hi,
I have a DECsystem 5000/260(202.38.72.164) running Ultrix-4.3A.
I want to replace it with NetBSD-1.3.2 which I have downloaded
from ftp.netbsd.org.
I'm not sure whether I can do so. Please help me.
Below are some steps I already took:
>> cnfg
3: KN05 DEC V2.1K TCF0 (32MB)
(enet: 08-00-2b-39-c5-2f)
(SCSI=7)
1: PMAG-DA DEC V5.3g TCF0 (PMAGB-EA: PXG+ -- D=24)
I use a RedHat5.1(202.38.72.166) to be the tftp server. The
bootptab on this server is:
.default:
:td=/tftp/DEC/NetBSD:\
:ht=ethernet:\
:bf=netbsd.ecoff:\
:ds=202.38.64.1:\
:gw=202.38.72.190:\
:sa=202.38.72.166:\
:sm=255.255.255.192:\
:hn:vm=rfc1048:
dec:ha=08002b39c52f:tc=.default:ip=202.38.72.164:
There are netbsd.ecoff and nfsnetbsd.ecoff in /tftp/DEC/NetBSD/.
Now I try to boot from the prompt:
>> boot 3/tftp
-tftp bootp(3). bootp
Then the LED turn from all off to some thing like this: 00110010
here `1' means on and `0' means off.
And it seems that the DEC keeps trying to read the boot file but
failed. For no more messagres appear :(
Now, what's the problem? How can I boot successfully?
Thank you in advance.
