Hi!

I've got troubles booting a SPARCstation SLC diskless from my
NetBSD/sparc box (IPX) which runs the latest sparc-snapshot (1.2D). I
set up the rarpd and tftp service and moved the /usr/mdec/boot to
/tftpboot/ as the clients IP-address in hex + .SUN4C, which is
/tftpboot/C044D596.SUN4C (IP is 192.68.213.150).
The tcpdump looks something like this:

(sunday is the IPX, banana the SLC)

01:35:06.662309 rarp who-is 192.68.213.150 tell 192.68.213.150
01:35:06.699015 rarp reply 192.68.213.150 at banana
01:35:06.725188 banana.6129 > sunday.tftp: 23 RRQ "C044D596.SUN4C" (ttl 123, id 1234)
01:35:06.962899 arp who-has banana tell sunday
01:35:10.568730 banana.6129 > sunday.tftp: 23 RRQ "C044D596.SUN4C" (ttl 123, id 1234)
01:35:10.700786 arp who-has banana tell sunday
01:35:11.966823 arp who-has banana tell sunday
01:35:14.567622 banana.6129 > sunday.tftp: 23 RRQ "C044D596.SUN4C" (ttl 123, id 1234)
01:35:14.715629 arp who-has banana tell sunday

and so on...

For me it looks like the rarpd-stuff works but the requested file
doesn't get through...but I'm able to tftp it with an tftp-client.
Does anyone know how this is to be interpreted? Or any other hint?

Anything will be appreciated...

Thanx in advance
 Oliver
