Hello, I'm trying to boot a SPARC XTERMINAL 1 with a linux kernel.
I've setup rarp on my Ultra 2 to assign the XTERMINAL an ip address and this goes ok. Using tcpdump, I see that it then tries to dowload an image '86671043.SUN4M' using tftp. So I setup tftp and this works fine, but of course I have no image to load. What exactly is this image '86671043.SUN4M' that its trying to load? I assume this isn't just a straight kernel file, but some sort of bootable image. How would I create a bootable image? Is there a tool for this purpose? As an experiment, I copied 'tftp32.img' from the suse installation disk to my /tftpboot directory and renamed it to '86671043.SUN4M'. After this, the SPARC XTERMINAL 1 grabs the image and runs the kernel and linuxrc so I know linux will run on the box. It says it is using the 'sun4cdm' kernel. Can I compile this kernel as a target from the stock sparc-linux sources? I'm a bit unclear on how to get a diskless XTERMINAL going. Any help would be appreciated.
