This capability stopped somewhere around FBSD 2.1.7. With an identical /etc/bootparams file NetBSD 1.3 boots these Suns just fine. This behavior seems to be universal to several other FreeBSD/Sun3 X users. (personal e-mail) I will be happy to help in tracking down this problem as I have both FreeBSD and NetBSD running at this site. >How-To-Repeat: Boot Sun 3. It receives only partial info required if bootparamd server is FreeBSD. It receives all required info if rpc.bootparmad server is NetBSD or SunOS. >Fix: Unknown. However, I have a working NetBSD server and several non working FreeBSD bootparamd servers with source. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
