Trying to follow the examples to configure bootp/tftp at http://mkhppa1.esiee.fr/parisc-linux-boot/parisc-linux-boot/preparation.html I could not get it to boot. This distribution sets the daemons as follows: tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.tftpd -s /tftpboot bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/bootpd bootpd -c /tftpboot This a chroot setup, so the example /etc/bootptab in the web page will not work. The configuration that worked for me is the following: parisc:hd=/:\ :ht=ethernet:\ :ha=0800093BF206:\ :ip=192.168.0.8:\ :bf=lifimage:\ :sm=255.255.0.0:\ :to=7200: Where the bootable kernel image was the lifimage created using "make palo" (The web page description is ambiguous as to what image to use: vmlinux or lifimage) Also the purpose of the parameter "rp" in the example bootptab is not clear in the example. Its purpose is to specify a root filesystem to mount, but the lifimage has that parameter set from palo Makefile. -- Rafael
