I'm giving you a little background of how it was set up. I have a laptop and
FreeBSD box with laplink cable attached to both. FreeBSD box is the host. It
has the CDROM drive. The goal is to install FreeBSD from the FBSD box w/
CDROM drive onto the laptop via PLIP. This is how it works:
iceman <-------> cooljoe
IP address 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.4
iceman ==> FBSD box w/ CDROM drive(host)
cooljoe ==> laptop
I was able to ping each other on both boxes. Also, I can FTPs to each
other on both boxes. Now, the problem is that I could NOT install FreeBSD
from iceman thru /stand/sysinstall.
I've already add 'ftp:*:99:99::0:0:FTP:/cdrom:/sbin/nologin' via vipw. The
'err' msg said, "Warning: Can't CD to '2.2.6-RELEASE' distribution on this
FTP server". I can FTP manually to /cdrom without a problem. Did I miss
something here?
TIA.
