Hi!
OK, here is the procedure:
my i386 linuxbox:
rarp -s ip_add hw_addr
arp -s ip_add hw_addr
cp tftpboot.img /var/tftp
cd /var/tftp
ln -s tftpboot.img ip_addr_in_hex # something like A1357BA7 -
161.53.123.167
and ultra:
boot net
That's it.
On the other hand, I solved my problem with lots of tweaking. Few
comments:
- root.bin in tftpboot.img is full till last block, I had to remove
fdisk from it to configure
- there is no nfs install support
- there are no tools to build tftpboot.img on i386-linux or
sparc-solaris
Regards,
Tomislav
