I have an iMac I would like to netboot. It has open firmware 3 on it. I have a server set up with bootp and tftpd. There is an entry in my bootptab for it like this:
my.domain.name:\ :ht=ether:\ :ha=0050E4960551:\ :sm=255.255.255.0:\ :ip=192.168.1.3:\ :hd=/tftpboot:\ :bf=yaboot:\ :bs=auto: my /tftpboot directory contains: yaboot yaboot.conf vmlinux all are world readable. In open firmware I use the command boot enet:0 This works, the machine gets an ip, yaboot is retreived from my tftp server, and yaboot is loaded. Here's where the problem shows up. My screen shows this: CLIENT: 0050e4960551 192.168.1.3 SERVER: 005004885ac2 192.168.1.2 stark Transfer FILE: yaboot.conf TFTP-actual=a6 TFTP-adler32=c79439b3 WARNING ! default_read called ! Error, can't read config file WARNING ! default_close called ! Welcome to yaboot version 1.2.3 boot: It seems that it can't retreive yaboot.conf. Any one know how to fix that? All the documentation I can find on netbooting newworld macs seem to indicate that I should just put the yaboot, yaboot.conf, and my kernel in my /tftpboot folder and everything should work. I'd appreciate any advice you can offer. I'm not a member of this list so please cc me. Thanks. -Christopher Cyll
