Hmmm. Moved from the 200 to a 240 and surprise- the process begins. 
However at the server's

Oct. 25 19:16:06 heretic tftpd[8339]: tftpd: trying to get file 
/tftpboot/install

Console says:
?IO: 3/tftp. a.out (-2)
>>

if I change bootptab to look at
install (like it says on the install web page) I get

?IO 3/tftp. server err: 2 -"Access violation"

?IO: tftp, no connect
>>

perms are :

[root@heretic /root]# ls -l /tftpboot/
total 3515
-rw-r--r-x   1 root     root      3583584 Oct 25 12:14 install

Thanks for all the help thus far!! My other 240 is the KN03-AA V5.1b 
variety that does not netboot supposedly.

Actually I was mistaken. It was a 200 that started to boot correctly.


I have moved things to the internal network in ymy room rather than
keeping them at work. This is a much simplified networks so things will
be easier. Am hoping to install on the 200 and then put the disk on the
240.  Intend to use it as a departmental ftp server eventually. Have an
old 200 running ultrix right now but we didn't want to futz with y2k
compliance. So now my linux box is seeing the bootp request.  It's a
first step...


I am still interested in the errs I was getting on the 240.

</excerpt>

So here's where I am:


The 200 is sending out bootp requests- at least about 15 sec after I
do

<excerpt><excerpt>boot 6/tftp

</excerpt></excerpt>

the linux box logs

<excerpt>Oct 25 19:01:45 heretic in.bootpd[8188]: version 2.4.0

</excerpt>

However nothing happens then. The 200 is not timing out, so it must be
getting something.


TFTP is working correctly.


Any ideas? When I netboot our iMac it logs as a dhcpd BOOTREQUEST and
logs the MAC address and then fails at

dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST  from 00:50:e4:90:ed:62 vi eth0

dhcpd: No applicable record for BOOTP host 00:50:e4:90:ed:62


So should I be doing something with DHCP?


I have the 200 on a coax line but I suppose that if it were not working
the bootp request would time out and wouldn't log on heretic (the linux
box)


Thanks-
