Hi gang!
I'm having problems getting a 5000/200 I have to netboot. Here's the setup:
Boot server is running NetBSD/i386 1.3.2 (old, but it works and I didn't
want to mess with it).
Symptom: as soon as I type boot 6/tftp on the 5K I get a message on the
boot server:
"inetd[229]: /usr/sbin/bootpd: exit status 0x1
last message repeated 38 times
inetd[229]: bootps/udp server failing (looping), service terminated
The 5000/200 eventually times out.
For what it's worth, my bootptab looks like:
damasus.zaft.org:\
:ht=ether:\
:ha=08002b236dec:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:\
:ip=192.168.17.25:\
:sa=192.168.17.1:\
:hn:\
:bf=boot.pmax:\
:rp=/home/export/pmax/root:\
:vm=auto:
my inetd.conf lines are:
bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/bootpd bootpd
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd -s /tftpboot
And I have a copy of the ECOFF kernel in /tftpboot as netbsd.pmax.
My 5000/200 ROM is KN02-AA 5.3t.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help.
