uname -a: No oportunity to do a "uname -a"
Date: Nov 30 17:23:26 CET 2004
Method: bootp(dhcp)-netboot, tftp successfully serves image (checked with sniffer)
Machine: Motorola Powerstack PowerPC
Processor: 604e - Open Firmware Version 1.2 RM11

Comments/Problems:
As soon as DHCP-discovery starts, the machine freezes at 0% of DHCP-discovery. You can not switch to another console anymore.
I tried to boot with "expert" and "netcfg/use_dhcp=false" boot-option, but no difference was noticeable.
excerpt of /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
host riscy{
hardware ethernet 08:00:3e:27:d1:37;
fixed-address 192.168.5.100;
next-server 192.168.5.101;
filename "/tftpboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd";
}
A capture of the machine's ttys0 is attached.
