problems nebooting an iMac
I have an iMac I would like to netboot. It has open firmware 3 on it. I
have a server set up with bootp and tftpd. There is an entry in my bootptab
for it like this:
my.domain.name:\
:ht=ether:\
:ha=0050E4960551:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:\
:ip=192.168.1.3:\
:hd=/tftpboot:\
:bf=yaboot:\
:bs=auto:
my /tftpboot directory contains:
yaboot
yaboot.conf
vmlinux
all are world readable.
In open firmware I use the command
boot enet:0
This works, the machine gets an ip, yaboot is retreived from my tftp server,
and yaboot is loaded. Here's where the problem shows up.
My screen shows this:
CLIENT: 0050e4960551 192.168.1.3
SERVER: 005004885ac2 192.168.1.2 stark
Transfer FILE: yaboot.conf
TFTP-actual=a6 TFTP-adler32=c79439b3 WARNING ! default_read called !
Error, can't read config file
WARNING ! default_close called !
Welcome to yaboot version 1.2.3
boot:
It seems that it can't retreive yaboot.conf. Any one know how to fix that?
All the documentation I can find on netbooting newworld macs seem to indicate
that I should just put the yaboot, yaboot.conf, and my kernel in my /tftpboot
folder and everything should work.
I'd appreciate any advice you can offer. I'm not a member of this list so
please cc me. Thanks.
