The rbootd is good.
The lifimage is good.
The bootp server is good.
The baseplus root tarball is bad.
Coming from a similar situation, I had to manually change the
permissions on the baseplus tarball to get it to work.
Though I clearly can't remember what else I had to do... it was
quite some time ago. I'm now using apt-get and the latest ISO to
install machines.
Questions:
- Are you using devfs?
- Tried just letting the login prompt sit for a while after attempting
to login? (Usually the error might come after a _long_ time).
On another note, you should try the cdrom installer, since it's
much better and people have put a lot of work into it.
Cheers,
Carlos.
