If the intel box can't resolve itself (ie no 127.0.0.1 <hostname> in /etc/hosts) then rarp falls over -- you'll see error messages in /var/log/messages As long as the sparcs mac address is setup correctly in /etc/ethers and /etc/bootptab. inetd with tftp and bootp are running and rarp is running... my instructions should work... I have just recently used them to build another netboot server here. Regards Craig B
