What I did wrong was that I created a directory called C0A80145 rather than a file, and put loader in it. It was when I browsed a man pag, saw something about /var/log/xferlog and checked that file that I realized my mistake. So now I've succeeded in getting the bootstrap to load on the Sparc. Here's my output. =3D=3D=3D 36e00 Consoles: Open Firmware console FreeBSD/sparc64 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.0 (root@s-dallas.cse.buffalo.edu, Fri Jan 12 08:25:13 UTC 2007) bootpath=3D"/pci@1f,0/network@c,1" boot: ethernet address: 00:03:ba:08:1c:11 net_open: server addr: 0.0.0.0 net_open: server path: / \ =3D=3D=3D Perhaps it's worth mentioning that I'm connecting over a serial link rather than using a keyboard and a screen, which means that I maybe miss some information. Generally, is it possible to do administer an installation over a serial link, until I can get an sshd up? So it seems I need to somehow tell the bootstrap where to connect. The problem is how...

I suspect the way to tell the bootstrap where to look is through these lines, right? > host amber { > fixed-address amber; > hardware ethernet 08:00:20:01:02:03; > option root-path "69.31.131.61:/export/nboot/amber"; > } The problem is I don't have a clue where to put these lines. If they should given to the DHCP server, then I have a problem, since my router is pretty much a cheapo thing without advanced options. That's the (possible) problem I was referring to. (There seems to be a better interface than the web interface when telnetting to it, but I don't know how to use that interface properly.) I can also mention what I've done on the NFS side on the boot server. I've created /usr/sunboot, put all the files from the ISO image's /boot/ in that dir. I added this line to /etc/exports: /usr/sunboot -ro -maproot=3Droot -network 192.168.1.69 -mask 255.25= 5.255.0 which I then confirmed with showmount -e.
