Indy installation problems
Hi everyone,
I am trying to install debian on an SGI Indy machine.
But having troubles booting it up from network.
For the boot server, I am using a fedora-Linux machime
with dhcp and tftp running on it and I used a cross
over cable to connect it to the indy.
however when I try to start the boot process using
> bootp(): root=/dev/ram0
I get the following message
> setting $netaddr to 192.168.0.2 (from server)
and after sometime
>Unable to execute bootp();
message prompts....
To see what is going on on the server side I used
tcpdump and got the following
----------------------
listening on eth1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet),
capture size 96 bytes
