<sigh> Having problems installing Sarge on my Indy via tftp. Can anyone
help, please?
The dhcp and tftp servers are on my home network at host 'chupacabras'
(192.168.1.3).
In fact, this machine has the following packages installed:
dhcp3-server 3.0.2-1ubuntu7
tftpd 0.17-12
steve@chupacabras:/tftpboot ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4716488 2006-06-10 18:23 netboot-boot.img
This boot image is taken from
/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-mips/current/images as per the Debian
Installation Manual.
I have also tried tftpboot.img from www.zorg.org/linux/indy.shtml or
www.pvv.ntnu.ni/~pladsen/Indy/HOWTO.html
steve@chupacabras:/etc cat inetd.conf
tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
steve@chupacabras:/etc/dhcp3 cat dhcpd.conf
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.1.1;
}
host indy {
filename "/tftpboot/netboot-boot.img";
hardware ethernet 08:00:69:09:b4:26;
fixed-address 192.168.1.197;
}
Now for the Indy. At the maintenance shell, modulo whitespace :
hinv
System: IP22
Processor: 133 MHz R4600, with FPU
Primary I-cache size: 16 Kbytes
Primary D-cache size: 16 Kbytes
Memory size: 64 Mbytes
Graphics: Indy 8-bit
SCSI Disk: scsi(0)disk(1)
Audio: Iris Audio Processor: version A2 revision 4.1.0
printenv
<various entries, not including 'netaddr' or 'dlserver'>
eaddr=08:00:69:09:b4:26
<various other entries, not including 'netaddr' or 'dlserver'>
bootp():
Setting $netaddr to 192.168.1.197 (from server )
<..long pause..>
Unable to execute bootp():
printenv
<as before but with 2 additional variables:>
netaddr=192.168.1.197
dlserver=192.168.1.3
During the aforementioned long pause, the following entries are made into
/var/log/daemon.log:
Jun 10 19:21:48 localhost dhcpd: BOOTREQUEST from 08:00:69:09:b4:26 via eth0

Jun 10 19:23:18 localhost tftpd[8251]: tftpd: trying to get file:
/tftpboot/netboot-boot.img
Jun 10 19:23:18 localhost tftpd[8251]: tftpd: serving file from /tftpboot
So, the Indy seems to recieve its network address via DHCP fine.
However, tftpd does not convey the file /tftpboot/netboot-boot.img ?
Hmmmm ....
The router is 192.168.1.1, a USRobotics ADSL router.
The ethernet hub is a 3Com 8-port 10/100.
TIA (and for the work you all do with Debian)
