I'm trying to setup a VMware virtual machine to act as the diskless client as I have no other hardware to try. I've pointed it's floppy device to be a file on disk created by,
$ cat eb-5.2.2-pcnetfastiii.zdsk >bootfloppy.dsk
But when I boot the Vmware client I get this after the usual Bios screen
Loading ROM Image.. 0224 AX:0212 BX:2200 CX:0001 DX01000 . 0224 AX:0212 BX:2200 CX:0001 DX01000 .
repeated very rapidly indefinitely. The Vmware machine is configured with a fixed MAC address. (V 2.0.4 btw bit dated but it works).
I downloaded & installed the latest LTSP using the wget script, (how cool is that!) and have installed and run ltspcfg (I'm running Redhat 9). Installed the kernels in /tftpboot/lts etc so my installation is very normal except that I've got my DHCP server on another machine. However I'm pretty confident it's working, the important part of it's dhcpd.conf file looks like,
# Diskless Nodes
#
group {
use-host-decl-names on;
option log-servers 192.168.1.10; host vmware {
option host-name "vmware";
hardware ethernet 00:50:56:23:01:01;
fixed-address 192.168.1.161;
filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.22-ltsp-1";
next-server 192.168.1.10;
}Any cluesticks? To up to date a version of etherboot perhaps?
TIA's
Pete
