I grabbed the latest base tar ball from the ftp server and uncompressed it. I grabbed rboot and set it up and didn't work, so I have set bootps and tftp according to the howto at http://www.oswg.org/oswg- nightly/oswg/en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/parisc-linux/parisc-linux- boot.html (very helpful too I might add) from boot_admin I boot lan, I have tcpdump listening on eth1 where the hppa box is connected via aui/TP and UTP cross over. I can see the broadcast and /var/log/messages shows that tftp is looking for iplboot, as copied from the tar ball boot dir. The hp box fails with an error on the console (I have a vga screen on the box): "ERROR: Cannot load IPL, error detected." Since this is my first time with nfsbooting it's likely I'm not doing something right there, ie, I don't have /etc/exports setup.. should I od this? Please, some short pointers for a dummy.. :) I _so_ want to IRC on this box!! :) Thanks. Pete.
