I set up the RARP and TFTP servers on another machine, put the tftpboot.img image into /boot, symlinked the necessary file to tftpboot.img, and went 'boot net' off the Ultra 5. The U5 got an IP address, loaded the image, said 'Remapping the kernel...done\nBooting Linux...', and the screen went black. Stop+A did not do anything, I had to power cycle the machine using the power switch on the power supply.
I am just using the standard framebuffer console, not a serial console. I have tried the tftpboot.img from both woody and potato. Both do the same thing. It is not possible to boot from floppy on this particular U5, as it has the second hard disk fitted which removes the floppy drive (it has 2 20GB Seagate IDE hard drives fitted). Any hints greatly appreciated. If you need any more details about the machine, just yell. -- Joel Michael | Phone: +61 7 3367 3555 Systems Administrator | Fax: +61 7 3367 3544 WorldHosting.org Pty.
