Except for the bootp server you also need a tftp server to supply the 712/60 with a boot image. The bootp server's reply message need to be setup with a pointer to the tftp server. This is at least the way I did it.
BTW my bootp server is actually my DHCP server. /Thomas Citerar Zoltan HERPAI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > referring to the ESIEE page > (http://pateam.esiee.fr/parisc-linux-boot/PA-RISC-Linux-Boot- HOWTO/bootnetwork.html), > the 712/60 requires bootp. but tried to boot it with rbootd, with no > result (the box was desperately trying to find a bootp server). > > -w- > > On Tue, 28 Jan 2003, Greg MATTHEWS wrote: > > > i think the 712 series needs an rboot server and not bootp. debian has a > > package (of course!). > > > > > 03:29:20.253733 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: xid:0xc1f968d1 ether > > > 8:0:9:91:ed:a0 [|bootp] > > > 03:29:20.259366 10.1.1.254.67 > 10.1.1.253.68: xid:0xc1f968d1 > > > Y:10.1.1.253 S:10.1.1.254 ether 8:0:9:91:ed:a0 sname > "ironcurtai"[|bootp] > > > (DF) > > > 03:29:22.253780 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: xid:0xc1f968d1 secs:2 > > > ether 8:0:9:91:ed:a0 [|bootp] > > > 03:29:22.258825 10.1.1.254.67 > 10.1.1.253.68: xid:0xc1f968d1 secs:2 > > > Y:10.1.1.253 S:10.1.1.254 ether 8:0:9:91:ed:a0 sname > "ironcurtai"[|bootp] > > > (DF) > > > 03:29:26.253525 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: xid:0xc1f968d1 secs:6 > > > ether 8:0:9:91:ed:a0 [|bootp] > > > 03:29:26.258648 10.1.1.254.67 > 10.1.1.253.68: xid:0xc1f968d1 secs:6 > > > Y:10.1.1.253 S:10.1.1.254 ether 8:0:9:91:ed:a0 sname > "ironcurtai"[|bootp] > > > (DF) > > > > > > after this, some strange arp lookups appear in the tcpdump output, like > > > this: > > > 03:28:48.961476 arp who-has 10.1.1.253 (0:0:0:0:0:70) tell 10.1.1.254 > > > 03:28:49.961465 arp who-has 10.1.1.253 (0:0:0:0:0:70) tell 10.1.1.254 > > > > > > the arp address sometimes change, to 0:0:0:0:0:66, or :64. don't know > what > > > this is, bootpd replies to the requests, but they never reach the 712. i > > > use the rj45 port, which worked when i bought it from a company. any > > > ideas? i can send the bootptab config on request (hoping the reply will > > > get to the recipient ;) ) > > > > GREG > > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
