Hi Tennis, Make sure rarpd is running on your network so your ss20 can get an IP. Also, you will need to net boot off a tftpboot.img, not a .iso. You'll probably have to rename the tftpboot.img to something different, which is machine dependant. I just looked through the logs to see what my machine was asking for and changed the name of tftpboot.img to that. I did this all under linux, not win2k. No good reason why it shouldnt work... as long as your tftpd and rarpd implementations are standards compliant ;-) Leith Tennis Smith wrote:
Hi, I'm trying to netinst to an ss20. I have a tftp server setup on a win2k PC (funny huh?) and I'm trying to netboot with your latest sparc-mini.iso. Unfortuntely, it doesn't seem that the OpenBoot values for this scenario are very well documented. I looked in the Debian docs and none of the variants on this worked for me. Is there a better writeup somewhere of how to do this? Also, has anyone ever managed to get this to work from a win2k machine? TIA, -Tennis
