Hi,
I just got a 3/50 and wanted to get it up and running:
1. I read the installation howto about 10 times :)
2. got bootp, bootparamd, nfsd, mountd, etc all configured
3. I boot netboot, ip gets assigned, and it boots netbsd-rd
4. I get
device md0 (0xed00) not configured
root device: (i enter le0)
dump device: (i enter none)
file system: (i enter nfs)
I have the file "miniroot" in the root directory unzipped, I thought it
would try and load it but it doesn't. Here is some things I have:
[illusion:~] # more /etc/bootparams
sun root=illusion:/tftpboot/root \
swap=illusion:/tftpboot/swap
[illusion:~] # ls -al /tftpboot/root/
total 12439
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Oct 27 22:24 .
drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 1024 Oct 27 22:22 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8388608 Oct 27 22:24 miniroot
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 27 22:22 netbsd -> netbsd-rd
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 983596 May 30 22:31 netbsd-rd
[illusion:~] # cat /etc/exports
/tftpboot 208.214.45.5(rw)
(208.214.45.5 is "sun" )
So its actually running netbsd-rd, but what is suppose to happen next?
This machine has a disk box but i am not sure if the disk even works, but
that shouldnt matter as we havent got their yet, I am still trying to
install over le0.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Brian
