Can you try the netboot image contained in this tarball [1]?
Hrmm .. new problem. I think that the firmware on ye older Sun Netra
type units was limited as to how much it could fetch and deal with
for a "net boot" process. Looks to be precisely 10MB :
And I wonder if they ever bumped it at all, because it is not a
problem for
Solaris, and 10 MB is ample space for a "bootloader" of sorts (think
wanboot(1m)/inetboot(1m)). Perhaps grub2 is the answer to that, since
I have
never gotten TILO to do it.
Me neither. I tested my setup of tftp/dhcp/nfs etc with a net install
of Solaris 10 u11 and that works fine. That is actually using grub from
way back at version 1.97 ( or there abouts ) however it was madly hacked
inside Sun and then more hackary was done during the OpenSolaris
project. Definately grub. I should go have a look and see if I have the
sources laying about somewhere. Could be useful.
Regardless ... I will keep poking at this with a stick and see what I
can come up with.
