Hi there.
I'm trying to set up a small network at home with a server
and a few x-terminal.
The server is a dedicated Pentium FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE.
The x-terminal are 486 machines.
I successfully
- set up bootp/tftp/nfs daemons on the server.
- build the bootstrap floppy for the x-terminal
(located in /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/netboot/)
- get answer from the bootp server
- load the file with configuration info about rootfs, swapfs,
swapsize... on the x-terminal
- nfs mount the file systems on the x-terminal
- start to load /kernel
Here is where it fails... The message is something like:
Bad module format!
or...
Bad head format!
...can't exacly remember ;^)
Is that because the kernel is ELF and the boot program
expects a.aot???
Any help/hints greatly appreciated.
Please send answers also to my mail-box.
Best regards.
