The boot net-tpe is OK, since you're not using a hub. However, dhcpd is not going to help you because you have one of those crusty old boot proms (as I do) that attempts to boot using rarp. You need to compile the kernel on the tftp server to support rarp, and install rarpd, and put the MAC address and hostname of the SS20 in /etc/ethers. Note that the hostname must be resolvable. Let me know if you need more detail. The line in my /etc/ethers looks like: 8:0:20:76:87:24 usagi.literati.org And in inetd.conf: tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd \ /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /boot The file that the SS20 will try to boot from will most likely be XXXXXXXX.SUN4M with the X's being replaced by the machine's IP address in hex. Just look at the logs from tftpd and link/copy your netboot kernel to that filename. Note that the rarp server *must* be on the same machine as the tftp server. -- Sean R.
