Hi Is 10.0.0.64 on the same subnet as your tftp server?
It's ages since I did it (with a PC running redhat) but I remember I had to explicitly add a rarp entry in the rc script and reboot the machine, but this was with an old kernel supporting rarp rather than rarpd. The command was rarp -s <ip addr> <mac addr> It looks like the rarp packet gets sent from your PC but doesn't make it to the SS20 - the request comes in on if-1073744616 and the response goes out to 10.0.0.64 on eth0. Not sure what if-1073744616 is but it's different from eth0.... If it's working you will see a '/' cursor on the sparc20 start spinning and an byte count incrementing beside it Patrick > Hi all, > > I am attempting to remote boot a SparcStation20 from one of my other > debian boxes.
