Here is a question that will test your memories!
I'm trying to use a Sun ELC (sun4c) as an Xterminal on my FreeBSD
system using Xkernel 2.0. I've used the old howto's from 1996
(Philippe Regnauld) as well as NetBSD diskless howto's to set this up.
I've got it working up to a point:
It finds it IP address via rarp
loads the boot loader via tftp
mounts it's root via nfs and
boots the kernel. But then it freezes with the message:
le0 at SBus slot 0 0xc00000 pri 5
bwtwo0 at SBus slot 3 0x0 pri 7
No bootparam server responding; still trying
whoami: pmap_rmtcall status 0x5
Looking at a tcpdump, I see:
22:45:09.936573 sun.wl.vg.1023 > 209.9.69.0.sunrpc: udp 100
repeated frequently.
From what I've seen in the mail archives, it's probably a networking
issue, and several people asked about it in 1996. But I never found a
solution in the archives, only questions.
So, does anyone have a fix for this? Back in '96-97, Luigi Rizzo and
Mike Smith (among others) seemed to be doing this, so I'm hoping someone
still does.
