Hi all, I am attempting to remote boot a SparcStation20 from one of my other debian boxes. I have copied the working kernel from a Sparc5 to the /tftpboot directory on my server (running debian 3 on i686). I have renamed it to have the correct hex prefix as the IP address to which the image should be served but the Sparc20 does not seem to do a great deal. I was hoping that at least it would execute the kernel even though I do not (yet) have a sparc filesystem for the SS20 on the i686 machine. ( I am awaiting an Ultra30 for this)
Here is my ethers file. cat /etc/ethers 08:00:20:1d:ce:52 10.0.0.64 This is from the syslog as the sparc20 does a boot net from openboot prom, rarpd[1149]: RARP request from 08:00:20:1d:ce:52 on if-1073744616 rarpd[1149]: RARP response to 08:00:20:1d:ce:52 10.0.0.64 on eth0 rarpd[1149]: RARP request from 08:00:20:1d:ce:52 on if-1073744616 rarpd[1149]: RARP response to 08:00:20:1d:ce:52 10.0.0.64 on eth0 in.tftpd[1177]: connect from 10.0.0.64 And here is the tftp log showing that the correct file is being sent to the SS20 tftpd[1286]: Serving 0A000040.SUN4M to 10.0.0.64:63149 tftpd[1287]: Serving 0A000040.SUN4M to 10.0.0.64:63149 tftpd[1288]: Serving 0A000040.SUN4M to 10.0.0.64:63149 tftpd[1289]: Serving 0A000040.SUN4M to 10.0.0.64:63149 tftpd[1292]: Serving 0A000040.SUN4M to 10.0.0.64:63149 tftpd[1293]: Serving 0A000040.SUN4M to 10.0.0.64:63149 tftpd[1294]: Serving 0A000040.SUN4M to 10.0.0.64:63149 tftpd[1296]: Serving 0A000040.SUN4M to 10.0.0.64:63149 tftpd[1297]: Serving 0A000040.SUN4M to 10.0.0.64:63149 tftpd[1298]: Serving 0A000040.SUN4M to 10.0.0.64:63149 On the SS20 all I get is a repeated "timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet" I am sure I am missing something simple, is there anything else I could try here?
