network install problem - UltraSparc 60
Good day.
I've managed to set up working rarp and tftp servers on an x86 debian
laptop, and I see the headless U60 booting across the network via a
terminal server on ttyA, but eventually the boot process hangs. Here are
the last few lines of boot messages:
--

The boot server directory /var/lib/tftpboot contains:
boot.img
C0A89E64 --> boot.img
...which I obtained from
/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-sparc/current/images/netboot
Am I mising something? One 8MB file doesn't seem like much to boot an
entire debian system from, but I can't find reference to anything else
required for a network in the notes.
Thanks for any advice offered.
