7012-G30 - linux - netboot
I'm trying to get a Bull Escala ppc to run Linux.
It's a 4 * 601 cpu, 512mb ram.
The machine starts a bump firmware.
I set the bootlist to first boot flop, then cd, then tape, then harddisk
At the moment I've the machine trying to boot over ethernet, it's getting a
bootp answer, and it tries to tftp a bootfile.
There it goes wrong, no matter what i feed to the server, after 2 tftpblocks
is gives a 231 status (System failed to IPL from the device chosen by the
operator.)
I set the blocksize of the tftp server to various values, no luck.
I tried tp pass blocksize parameter to the bootp server, still no luck.
Any ideas somebody?
(Using dd to make a boot flop did not succeed, the server says that it's not
a firmware disk. So that's why i got trying to netboot the machine first).
Gr.
