Re: boot net fails in openprom
Hello
So I guess I am confused by its primativeness. Are you saying that
the ss5 openprom does not support the option filename parameter of
dhcpd? I believe that. I will update the setup for that. However,
I am not even getting to the tftp step. I am not even responding
to the arp request. I thought that the dhcp package provided
that capability.
