What's wrong? Followup-To: comp.unix.bsd.openbsd.misc Date: 14 Apr 1997 12:11:59 GMT Organization: APS Applied Systematics AG Lines: 60 Message-ID: <5it6uf$h4m@news.eunet.ch> NNTP-Posting-Host: eunet-gw.aps.ch Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.openbsd.misc:62 comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc:5811 comp.sys.dec:43923 Hi, I've got a problem with remote booting on a Personal DECstation 5000/33. I have two such machines. One is running Ultrix 4.4, and I have setup tftpd and bootpd on it, as shown in the included configuration files. On the other DECstation I enter the PROM monitor and type the command "boot 3/tftp". Within less than a second I get the response "?IO: 3/tftp, bootp tmout". On the Ultrix machine this shows up in the syslog (I started bootpd with the option -d): Apr 14 13:50:57 chili 14313 bootpd: Processing boot request from hw addr 08:00:2b:3c:25:1a Apr 14 13:50:57 chili 14313 bootpd: Found 194.191.90.134 Apr 14 13:50:57 chili 14313 bootpd: bootfile is ./openbsd repeated 5 times, all with the same timestamp. If I use the tftp client from some other unix box, and perform a "get ./openbsd" then I will receive the file. Any hint, to what I may do wrong is appreciated.
