Re: Network boot
Hi
Is 10.0.0.64 on the same subnet as your tftp server?
It's ages since I did it (with a PC running redhat) but I remember
I had to explicitly add a rarp entry in the rc script and reboot
the machine, but this was with an old kernel supporting rarp rather than
rarpd. The command was rarp -s <ip addr> <mac addr>
It looks like the rarp packet gets sent from your PC but doesn't
make it to the SS20 - the request comes in on if-1073744616 and the
response goes out to 10.0.0.64 on eth0. Not sure what if-1073744616 is
but it's different from eth0....
If it's working you will see a '/' cursor on the sparc20 start spinning
and an byte count incrementing beside it
