I have a SunBlade 100 (desktop) that should be WANboot capable, after updating the Boot PROM, especially, for this reason.
# prtconf -V OBP 4.17.1 2005/04/11 14:31 I also get the TFPTboot error (see below). My DHCP server is SPARC on the same subnet, and the AI server is x86 on a different subnet. Snooping on the DHCP server I see that it does not issue a request for the boot info. DHCP: ----- (Options) field options ----- DHCP: DHCP: Message type = DHCPREQUEST DHCP: Client Class Identifier = "SUNW.Sun-Blade-100" DHCP: Requested Options: DHCP: 1 (Subnet Mask) DHCP: 3 (Router) DHCP: 12 (Client Hostname) DHCP: 43 (Vendor Specific Options) DHCP: Maximum DHCP Message Size = 1472 bytes DHCP: Client Hostname = strathmere DHCP: DHCP Server Identifier = 10.1.14.171 DHCP: Requested IP Address = 10.1.14.169 Sun Blade 100 (UltraSPARC-IIe), No Keyboard Copyright 2005 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
