Hola senores.


I'm trying to netboot a sun ultra 2.  It successfully rarps for an ip
address and gets the loader from tftpd.  Then the loader tries to grab
the kernel, and I see this:

Boot device: /sbus/SUNW,hme@e,8c00000   File and args:
21800 Console: OpenFirmware console
FreeBSD/sparc64 loader
bootpath="/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,hme@e,8c00000"
loaddev=net0:
boot: ethernet address: 08:00:20:9a:76:f4
net_open: server addr: 0.0.0.0
net_open: server path: /
panic: arp: no response for 0.0.0.0

--> Press a key on the console to reboot <--

I've looked at:
people.freebsd.org/~jake
people.freebsd.org/~bmah/relnotes/CURRENT/installation-sparc64.html
people.freebsd.org/~tmm

and searched google/the mail archives but I'm unable to figure out why
it's using 0.0.0.0.

I see in (for example):
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=10460+0+archive/2002/freebsd-sparc/20020519.freebsd-sparc

that net_open gets/uses a 'real' ip address.

I copied the sample /etc/bootptab from bmah's page, and filled in the
fields with my appropriate information.  I also looked at the bootptab on
~tmm/bootptab.

I downloaded the loader-tftp from:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/sparc64/loader-tftp.bz2

I bunzip2'd it and put it in /tftpboot/loader-tftp.

It seems to only get downloaded by the sun when i rename it to the
ethernet address of the sun, D14E8062.  (even with the -s flag to rarpd)


I downloaded the kernel from:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/sparc64/kernel.bz2

I bunzip2'd it and put it in /tftpboot/kernel


My bootptab:
>>cat /etc/bootptab
.default:\
      :bf="kernel":dn=local:ds=192.168.1.95:\
      :gw=192.168.1.95:ht=ether:hd="/tftpboot/kernel":hn:\
      :sa="198.168.1.95":\
      :sm=255.255.255.0

    sunrise:\
      ha=0800209A76F4:ip=192.168.1.98:tc=.default



What should I be looking at that I'm not ?
