Netbooting the installation media:
- -- The lif35.fs file contains both a bootloader and an installation - miniroot. - To boot it from the network, a server machine has to be setup so as to - let the hppa machine retrieve it: -
-
-
- Server setup
-
-
-
- For older machines (705, 7[1235]0, 715/33/50/75, 725/50/75, 735, 755)
- rbootd
- must be setup and started.
-
-
-
- /etc/rbootd.conf contains a single line per machine
- needing to boot from the server. Each line contains the ethernet
- address of the client hppa machine, and the filename to be loaded from
- the tftp server (relative to /usr/mdec/rbootd).
- For example:
-
- 8:0:9:70:c4:11 lif35.fs # 9000/720 - 8:0:9:19:fb:a0 lif35.fs # 9000/725 -
-
-
- - /etc/rbootd.conf contains a single line per machine
- needing to boot from the server. Each line contains the ethernet
- address of the client hppa machine, and the filename to be loaded from
- the tftp server (relative to /usr/mdec/rbootd).
- For example:
-
- Recent machines (712, 715/64/80/100, 725/64/100, ABC class, etc.)
- will not look for rbootd at all, but instead require a bootp setup.
-
-
-
- /etc/bootptab
- contains an information block for each machine. For example:
-
- # 9000/715 - boron:\ - ha=0800095f5a6e:\ - bf=lif35.fs:\ - hd=:\ - ht=ethernet:\ - ip=10.0.1.143:\ - sm=255.255.255.0:\ - td=/tftpboot: -
-
- -
- Create directory /tftpboot and put the
- lif35.fs file in it.
-
- -
- Write an entry for the hppa in /etc/ethers:
-
- 08:00:09:5f:5a:6e boron -
-
- -
- Write another entry for it in /etc/hosts:
-
- 10.0.1.143 boron -
-
- - - The last step is to enable the necessary daemons for all of this to - work. - bootpd - and - tftpd - are usually run from - inetd, - so /etc/inetd.conf has to be modified and - inetd - restarted. Also, - rarpd - needs to be enabled in - rc.conf. - -
- - /etc/bootptab
- contains an information block for each machine. For example:
-
- For further reading on server setup for network booting in general, - please refer to the - diskless(8) - manual page. - -
-
- For older machines (705, 7[1235]0, 715/33/50/75, 725/50/75, 735, 755)
- rbootd
- must be setup and started.
-
- Client Network Boot
-
-
-
- BOOT_ADMIN
- In order to get to the BOOT_ADMIN prompt, hit the <esc> - key as the machine is coming up. Once it has probed bootable devices, - a menu will be displayed; if the prompt is not BOOT_ADMIN, - it will be necessary to type ``a'' to access it. -
- - Network boot command
- Once at the 'BOOT_ADMIN' prompt, the command -- BOOT_ADMIN> boot lan isl -
- will proceed to the bootstrap of lif35.fs. -
