Hello everyone, I'm a recent proud owner of a SPARCstation 20 on which I've been running NetBSD for the last few days. Both of its old mechanical disks are dead, but it works just fine with an internal BlueSCSI v2.
slightly unrelated :
Myself and a friend did a fully network bootable SS20 yesterday with
NFS based everything. The backend server is FreeBSD with ZFS. Works like
a charm after one figures out the stuff needed in /tftpboot as well as
the dhcpd stuff. I am using one of the quad ethernet interfaces as the
bootable device and it runs fine with NFS over that same interface.
Has anyone tried to bond interfaces together? I figure with LACP
bonding of all four qeX interfaces the thing would be just fine over the
NFS with *almost* reseonable performance. The internal disks currently
have Solaris 2.5.1 installed with the SUN PC card support. The machine
has the Intel i486 co-processor SBus module in there. That will never
ever work on anything after Solaris 2.5.1 most likely. Anyways it boots
and runs fine over the network and I only wish LACP was possible. Is it?
