Hi,
I'm trying to boot an unusual device here (using ubuntu feisty). It's a
small rack mount server about the size of a switch with an i386 type chip
in it with only a console port. It's a cast off from a nearby company and
we're hoping to mount a disk in it, net boot it and run backups to it.
It has a FreeBSD etherboot image on an sd card which it boots and we get a
DHCP request, etc. The output is below. I'm not sure if I get no output
later because nothing more happens or because the console settings I'd need
change. What seems to happen is that the image mount the nfs and looks at
the nbi image directly on that (a slightly custom dhcp config was needed
for this). I'm used to pxelinux.cfg for setting this stuff but I don't
know what to do with etherboot.
I've tried a dhcp option of
option kernel-parameters "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600 NIC=eepro100";
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Gavin
