Hey gang I have heard it from good sources that there is a way to get a
sun3 to boot using linux as the server.
I'm in the process of doing this and i'm having the problem as follows:
Rarp support is compiled and working. Machine resolve's it's IP from
RARP messages. Next attempts to tftp load the kernel and gives
problems. Using a "packet sniffer" I found the following request
messages being sent back and forth:
The machine's IP is 44.250.250.2
Sun 3 > Linux PC: RRQ "2CFAFA02"
Linux PC > Sun 3: "Access violation"
I have manually tried to use tftp to retrieve this kernel and have
gotton Error 2: Access violation if I just issue the command
get 2CFAFA02. If I change the command to get /tftpboot/2CFAFA02 I get
the kernel...
Any help past this stumbling block would be greatly appreciated.
