Hi All. I'm trying to netboot a VaxStation 4000/60 (NetBSD 1.5) and the
boot appears to hang after loading the kernel.
My display shows:
-3
Trying BOOTP
bootp: no reply
Trying BOOTPARAMS
boot: client IP address: 192.168.0.66
boot: client name: slate
root addr=192.168.0.102 path=/mnt/grouchy
open netbsd.vax: No such file or directory
> boot netbsd
open netbsd: No such file of directory
> boot netbsd.gz
1160552+56892+194872 +[84828+99876] = 0x185e60
After showing this it waits about 30 sec and makes 3 sharp beeps. After
that it appears to be hung up.
my /var/log/messages shows (for bootparamd)
whoami got question for 192.168.0.66
returning slate 192.168.0.101
getfile got question for "slate" and file "root"
returning server:daphne path: /mnt/grouchy address:192.168.0.102
getfile got question for "slate" and "gateway"
returning server:daphne path: /mnt/grouchy address:192.168.0.102
my /etc/bootparams contains:
slate root=daphne:/mnt/grouchy
my /etc/ethers contains:
08:00:2B:2A:DC:93 slate
and my servers (both freebsd 4.2) are:
daphne 192.168.0.102 running NFS and exporting /mnt/grouchy
duckman 192.168.0.101 running rarpd, mopd, bootparamd
Am I making some kind of silly mistake? What I have working so far I got
from RTFM, but my reading doesn't seem to carry me much beyond this point.
Any help would be appreciated.
