This is about using the dhcp server in win2k server to net boot a parisc
box.

Here is my first attempt at writing this up. Please send your
criticisms/spelling fixes/flames.
------------------------------
I used Tftpd from http://tftpd32.jounin.net/ (which, in an unrelated side
note, was used as part of the blaster worm, according to the site). I
used the dhcp server which is a part of win2k server (Control Panel,
Add/remove programs, Windows components, Networking Services, Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP)).
First, lets ask the box what its mac address is. I'm assuming you have a
functional console. Power on the box, and when it says "press any key to"
whatever press any key, and at the BOOT_ADMIN> prompt, type "in la" and
hit enter. (For those of you who like to type, that's short for
information lan). It will give you a hex number which is your
workstation's mac address.
Start up the DHCP admin tool (Start, Settings, Control Panel, Admin.
Tools, DHCP). Expand your server in the tree, and right click on
Reservations. Select "New Reservation...". For reservation name, I put
my box's name. Give it an ip address that is not used in IP address, and
enter the box's mac address in mac address (no delimiters, just a big hex
number), and select Both for whether it should be bootp or dhcp. Then,
find your new reservation at the bottom of the list under Reservations,
and click it. Right click and choose "Configure Options..." It should
have inherited your server's default options, so I won't cover setting
router, dns, wins, and lease length. Scroll down the list of options
until you get to 066, Boot Server Host Name. Check the box next to that
option, and enter your tftp server's ip address (I don't trust dns to work
in IPL). Also check 067, Bootfile Name, and enter the name of the
lifimage (generally, lifimage is a good choice here). Say ok to that box,
we're done in dhcp!
Fire up tftpd32, and click the "browse" button. Browse to where you put
your lifimage, and say ok. Make sure the ip address below the directory
is the right one; if not, drop down the list and pick the right one.
Leave this app up, the server only runs when the gui is displayed (not
sure if you can run it as a service)
Now we're ready to boot the box. Go back to the box, get the BOOT_ADMIN>
prompt again (if you turned it off after the first time, or type "ma" for
the main menu if you didn't). Type "sea" (for search), and if everything
is good, you should see something like "P0 LAN.<BLAH>". If you do,
congrats, if not, check all of the settings on the server (like, you
recorded and typed the mac address correctly, and your dhcp server is on
the same physical network segment as your workstation). If it shows a
line like the above, enter "bo p0" (or whichever p number the LAN was by).
Anything beyond this point belongs to an install howto more than a win2k
server boot howto...

Jeremy,
Thanks again for the first version.
I've reformatted and rewrote bits of it.
Things with [ ] around them mean a step or info is missing.
Can you please review if any additional steps are missing and
fill in missing bits you know about?
Anyone else know if tftpf32 can be run as a service under win2k?
I'll add HTML markup when I'm ready to link it into our FAQ.
thanks,
grant
------------------------ HOWTO.win2k_bootp -------------------
Get the MAC address from the PARISC workstation
-----------------------------------------------
o Power on the box
o stop the auto boot when "press any key to stop boot" is printed
o At the BOOT_ADMIN> prompt, type "in la" and hit enter.
o record the printed hex number (your workstation's MAC address).
o leave the workstation power on...get back to it in a bit.
[ How/Where to get a lifimage? Needed below ]
Enable DHCP server in Win2k
---------------------------
o Start DHCP server:
Control Panel, Add/remove programs, Windows components,
Networking Services, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
o Start up the DHCP admin tool:
Start, Settings, Control Panel, Admin Tools, DHCP
o Expand [ double click? ] your server in the tree
o right click on Reservations.
o Select "New Reservation..."
o For reservation name, I put my workstation's host name.
o enter an unused IP address
o enter the PARISC workstation's mac address (no delimiters,
just the hex number).
o select "Both" for whether it should be bootp or dhcp.
[ o click "Ok" to close this window? ]
o Find your new reservation at the bottom of the list under Reservations
and click it.
o right click "Configure Options..."
It should have inherited your server's default options, so I won't
cover setting router, dns, wins, and lease length.
o Scroll down the list of options to 066 "Boot Server Host Name".
Check the box next to option 066. Enter your tftp server's ip address
(I don't trust DNS to work in IPL).
o check option 067 "Bootfile Name" and enter the name of the lifimage.
Generally, "lifimage" is a good choice here.
o click "ok" and dhcp server is ready!
Enable Tftpd on Win2k Server
----------------------------
o Get Tftpd from http://tftpd32.jounin.net/
o start tftpd32 [.exe?]
o click the "browse" button
o Browse to where you put your lifimage, highlight it and click ok.
o Make sure the IP address below the directory is the right one.
If not, drop down the list and pick the right one.
[which IP? client or dhcpd server?]
o Leave tftpd32 running. The tftp server only runs when the gui is displayed.
[ Can tftpd32 can be run as a service? How? Help page on jounin.net? ]
Net Boot the PARISC Workstation
-------------------------------
o Get the "BOOT_ADMIN>" prompt again
o Type "sea lan" (for search). If everything is correct, you should
see something like:
P0 LAN.<BLAH>
o type "bo p0" to start the parisc-linux boot process.
Palo output should be the next thing to show up on the console.
o If "P0 LAN" doesn't show up, check:
+ settings on the DHCP server.
eg. verify the PARISC MAC address is correct,
+ your dhcp server is on the same physical network segment as
the PARISC workstation.
+ "Link" light on PARISC workstation and Win2K server
LAN port is lit.
The HOWTO PARISC install [URL?] howto will be helpful from this point.
