Hello All
I"m trying to setup a diskless boot with 4.1 as the
server, but I'm running into a problem. After the
etherboot 3c509.com loads, and finds the bootpd
server, downloads the kernel, and the kernel starts to
boot, it freezes at "bootpc_init: using network
interface 'ep0'"
This is the server:
FreeBSD nova 4.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE #0: Fri Aug
4 19:26:40 CDT 2000
root@nova:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NOVA i386
I have tftp and bootp commented out of a generic
/etc/inetd.conf file. Here's /etc/exports:
/usr -maproot=0:0 -alldirs ndisk0.test.org
I copied GENERIC, and added the following for a
DISKLESS kernel:
options NFS
options NFS_ROOT
options BOOTP
options BOOTP_NFSROOT
options BOOTP_COMPAT
... and removed the FFS_ROOT option.
I installed the kernel in /usr/tftpboot as kernel.
/usr/tftpboot is symlinked to /tftpboot. I also
hardlinked /usr/tftpboot/kernel to
/usr/diskless/rootfs/{client} as kernel.
My /etc/bootptab file looks like this:
.enet:\
:ds=192.168.0.10 192.168.0.5:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:\
:dn=test.org:\
:gw=fw1:vm=rfc1048:t=ether:
ndisk0:ha=0020afcace47:bf=/tftpboot/kernel:ip=192.168.0.15:tc=.enet:
I then created a /tftpboot/cfg.192.168.0.15 that looks
like this:
rootfs 192.168.0.10:/usr/diskless/rootfs/192.168.0.15
swapfs 192.168.0.10:/usr/diskless/swapfs
swapsize 20000
hostname ndisk0.test.org
And lastly, I'm using ehterboot-4.6.1, and created
3c509.com for the bootrom. It works, and can transfer
the ELF kernel over, which does boot. It just stalls
out at the bootpc_init line, which I'm still thinking
is in the kernel process. Any suggestions?
TIA,
Jon
