Bug#116093: DNS names does not resolve on sparc
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.3.6
Severity: Important
When I use DHCP to get my network configuration, DNS names does not
resolve. This seems to be because /etc/resolv.conf points to
/target/etc/resolv.conf, and /target/etc/resolv.conf points to
../tmp/resolv.conf, which is the /tmp of the target disk. However, the
resolv.conf file is not there, it is in the /tmp of the installation
RAM disk.
Pointing /target/etc/resolv.conf to /tmp/resolv.conf or copying the
contents makes programs like ping resolve DNS names. The installation
program does not resolve DNS names after this.
A work-around is to use IP addresses instead.
Boot: TFTP
Hardware: Sparc Station 4
