Hi,
the tftp transert can been aborted by an arp request (seen this on a FAS
on the net). The workaround is to add a static entry for your 7043-140
arp -s ip_7043-140 mac_7043-140
I use this and I can netboot my 7043-140. If this works for you, can you
tell me if the debian installer detects your scsi card and can install
the right module ? Thanks
Nicolas
