Seems like I've got a diffrent problem to solve before I get to using
the boot.img from above.
Apparently, when I do a 'boot net' or a 'boot net boot.img' from
the OpenBoot prompt, it seems to be finding the Jumpstart
server and trying to download the jumpstart images.
I've got a SMC EZ Switch in my cubicle, into which is plugged my
Ultra10, Ultra2 (the one where I want Debian), two HP Compaq systems,
and the main wire that connectes me to the rest the LAN in the office.
I am probably being dumb in assuming that since my Ultra10 is the one
acting as the TFTP server, that is the one it will pick up. Is there a way
to specify which boot server you want to boot off when using 'boot net' ?
The Jumpstart server is not under my control and I have no access to it.
cheers,
mehul
