Thanks John, David,
thanks for pointers, the correct syntax worked and the ip, gateway,
netmask are now correct
(ip=ownip:nfsip:gatewayip:netmask:hostname:eth0:off)
That Roach_BOOT_proc1_V3.pdf was not very good.
Still some reliability issue, sometimes boot&NFS mount work fine, but many
times during boot I can not ping the roach and get a timeout
Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 10.0.2.94
rpcbind: server 10.0.2.94 not responding, timed out
Very possibly a local network issue. D-Link DES 1008D switches do not seem
to work well at 5100m altitude :P

Hello list,
I'm trying to give a roach a static IP since dhcp is not allowed. There is
http://gmrt.ncra.tifr.res.in/gmrt_hpage/sub_system/corr/Iru/Roach_BOOT_proc1_V3.pdf
which says bootargs can have ip=<ownip>:<gatewayip>:<netmask>. So I'm
trying this:
setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd rw
ip=10.0.2.101:10.0.2.1:255.255.255.0 root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=10.0.2.94:/rdbe/rdbe_image,nolock
saveenv
Is that ip=... really the proper syntax?
Hi. Here's the boot args from our bee2, if it helps:
BEE2 % get_eeprom
Command line: console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200
nfsroot=/export/home/tofu/cicadaroots/bee2Guppi
ip=169.254.128.20:169.254.128.6:169.254.128.6:255.255.255.0:bee2
:eth0:off mem=512M rw root=/dev/nfs
MAC address: 006D12B222
Baud rate: 115200
Serial number: 2.2.47
Checksum: 25
BEE2 %
