Re: [parisc-linux] 735 and rboot

[Alexander Strauss <strauss@astracom.net>]

Darcy,

the 735's are not using RBOOT anymore - they're using the standard BOOTP
protocol. For more information, see the comments in any standard
/etc/bootptab template or the bootp manual pages. A sample entry should
look like this

<hostname>:\
        :hd=<tftp-directory>:\
        :bf=<bootfile>:\
        :ht=ether:\
        :ha=<mac-addr>:\
        :sm=<subnet-mask>:\
        :hn:\
        :ip=<ip-address>:\
        :vm=rfc1048:

If bootpd and tftpd are ready, you can try to boot your HP with a "boot
lan" command, also the BOOTP server should be visible when searching for
bootable devices...

Regards,
Alex
