>Synopsis: SGI Indy netboot not working since OpenBSD 5.6 and still in
6.0-current (#686) (for GENERIC-IP22)
>Category: kernel sgi
>Environment (taken from OpenBSD 5.5):
System : OpenBSD 5.5
Details : OpenBSD 5.5 (GENERIC-IP22) #127: Tue Mar 4 16:19:56 MST 2014
[email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/sgi/compile/GENERIC-IP22
Architecture: OpenBSD.sgi
Machine : sgi
>Description:
I'm trying to netboot a SGI Indy (w/R4400) using `bootecoff` and the
GENERIC-IP22 kernel of the respective OpenBSD versions (5.9 and
6.0-current (builddate: 1471615628)). Everything works fine until the
kernel tries to determine the IP address of the network interface (sq0
is the only network interface in this machine!) used for netbooting via
RARP. It states that its RARP requests are not answered, but when
sniffing the network traffic between the Indy and the next RARP server
(same as the NFS server that serves the root FS of the Indy) I can see
that all RARP requests that orginate from the Indy are answered with the
designated IP address. But the Indy doesn't seem to recognize these
answers or just ignores them. I then built a root FS using OpenBSD 5.2
(the first version that had support for the Indy) and netbooted with
this root FS and the respective loader and kernel, which worked fine.
Some further root FS building and testing later I found out that the
last OpenBSD version where netbooting works ok for the Indy is OpenBSD
5.5. The RARP problems described above start with OpenBSD 5.6. I sadly
don't know if this is due to changes to the SGI specific part of the
kernel or due to changes in the nfs ([...]/sys/nfs/nfs_boot.c) or RARP
([...]/sys/netinet/if_ether.c) related parts. I have an Octane2 ready
for kernel compilation and would be glad to test out any proposed
patches with my Indy.
>How-To-Repeat:
Netboot a SGI Indy with OpenBSD >= 5.6.
>Fix:
Unknown.
These are the firmware messages, the boot messages for 6.0-current
(builddate: 1471615628) until the kernel panics, the trace and the
output of `ps` and `show registers`:
