X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL0] Organization: the Jester Message-ID: <D4xH02.1qw@jester.GUN.de> Date: Sat, 4 Mar 1995 18:07:13 GMT Lines: 47 Hi, I'm trying to boot a Sun 3/110 over the net. The server is a PC running FreeBSD 2.0 RELEASE; the sun 3/100 has no disk, no monitor and no keyboard. I created/edited the following files: /etc/ethers: # WD8013EP # 00:00:c0:56:3d:29 nina # Sun 3/110 08:00:20:00:2e:45 brave /etc/bootbtab: # bootptab file (domain=jester.gun.de) # .default:\ :hd=/usr/brave:bf=netbsd-gen:\ :ds=194.77.1.241:\ :ns=194.77.1.241:\ :sm=255.255.255.248:\ :gw=nina.jester.gun.de:\ :hn:to=-3600: brave:ht=6:ha=080020002E45:tc=.default: The server is nina.jester.gun.de, the sun should be brave.jester.gun.de. It seemed that the sun recognices its name, but it won't boot. I don't know very much about bootp, so if anybody has a good description about configuring a diskless system, it would help me a lot. If I start the sun and listen at the net-device via tcpdump, all I get is the following: rarp: who-is brave tell brave But everything brave needs to know is in the /etc/bootptab... Thanks in advance for any hints, Michael -- /* michael@jester.GUN.de ...T. = Teuer ?! */
