Another easy question: I want to set my ss20 (solaris9) box
so I can use it to netinstall debian linux in my SS1+. So, I
o created a /etc/ethers file
# cat /etc/ethers
8:0:20:c0:ff:ee katrina
#
o added an entry to my /etc/hosts file
10.0.0.17 katrina.kushana.com katrina # SS1+ running Debian Linux
o manually started /usr/sbin/in.rarpd (as in /usr/sbin/in.rarpd -a
-d), which results in the following messages:
# /usr/sbin/in.rarpd -a -d
/usr/sbin/in.rarpd:[1] device le0 ethernetaddress 8:0:20:71:a0:87
/usr/sbin/in.rarpd:[1] device le0 address 10.0.0.13
/usr/sbin/in.rarpd:[1] device le0 subnet mask 255.255.255.0
/usr/sbin/in.rarpd:[3] starting rarp service on device le0 address
8:0:20:71:a0:87
/usr/sbin/in.rarpd:[3] RARP_REQUEST for 8:0:20:c0:ff:ee
/usr/sbin/in.rarpd:[3] trying physical netnum 10.0.0.0 mask ffffff00
/usr/sbin/in.rarpd:[3] good lookup, maps to 10.0.0.17
which, I would guess, indicates that it has successfully done the
rarpd part. So, I then went on to setup tftp so I could get the
bloody tftpboot.img file:
o Placed the tftpboot file in a known location,
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 3161568 May 18 2002
/export/netboot/tftpboot.img
modified the tftp entry in /etc/inetd.conf to reflect that
tftp dgram udp6 wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s /export/netboot
(I am not horrible concerned about security since we are behind a
firewall and all the relevant ports are disabled in my router)
o Restarted inetd
# ps -e | grep inetd
182 ? 0:01 inetd
# kill -HUP 182
From the following messages int he SS1+, it seems not to be able to
get the tftpboot.img file:
ok boot net
Booting from: le(0,0,0)
Got error packet: Error Code 2 Message: Access violationreceive failed
Boot load failed
ok
What am I missing here?
