|
| |
|
| <p> |
|
| The <tt>lif35.fs</tt> 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: |
|
| <ol> |
|
| <li>Server setup |
|
| <ul> |
|
| <li>For older machines (705, 7[1235]0, 715/33/50/75, 725/50/75, 735, 755) |
|
| <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rbootd&sektion=8">rbootd</a> |
|
| must be setup and started. |
|
| <ul> |
|
| <li><tt>/etc/rbootd.conf</tt> 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 <tt>/usr/mdec/rbootd</tt>). |
|
| For example: |
|
| <pre> |
|
| 8:0:9:70:c4:11 lif35.fs # 9000/720 |
|
| 8:0:9:19:fb:a0 lif35.fs # 9000/725 |
|
| </pre> |
|
| </li> |
|
| </ul> |
|
| </li> |
|
| <li>Recent machines (712, 715/64/80/100, 725/64/100, ABC class, etc.) |
|
| will not look for rbootd at all, but instead require a <b>bootp</b> setup. |
|
| <ul> |
|
| <li><tt>/etc/<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bootptab&sektion=5">bootptab</a></tt> |
|
| contains an information block for each machine. For example: |
|
| <pre> |
|
| # 9000/715 |
|
| boron:\ |
|
| ha=0800095f5a6e:\ |
|
| bf=lif35.fs:\ |
|
| hd=:\ |
|
| ht=ethernet:\ |
|
| ip=10.0.1.143:\ |
|
| sm=255.255.255.0:\ |
|
| td=/tftpboot: |
|
| </pre> |
|
| </li> |
|
| <li> |
|
| Create directory <tt>/tftpboot</tt> and put the |
|
| <tt>lif35.fs</tt> file in it.<br> |
|
| </li> |
|
| <li> |
|
| Write an entry for the hppa in <tt>/etc/ethers</tt>: |
|
| <pre> |
|
| 08:00:09:5f:5a:6e boron |
|
| </pre> |
|
| </li> |
|
| <li> |
|
| Write another entry for it in <tt>/etc/hosts</tt>: |
|
| <pre> |
|
| 10.0.1.143 boron |
|
| </pre> |
|
| </li> |
|
| <li> |
|
| The last step is to enable the necessary daemons for all of this to |
|
| work. |
|
| <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bootpd&sektion=8">bootpd</a> |
|
| and |
|
| <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tftpd&sektion=8">tftpd</a> |
|
| are usually run from |
|
| <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=inetd&sektion=8">inetd</a>, |
|
| so <tt>/etc/inetd.conf</tt> has to be modified and |
|
| <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=inetd&sektion=8">inetd</a> |
|
| restarted. Also, |
|
| <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rarpd&sektion=8">rarpd</a> |
|
| needs to be enabled in |
|
| <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rc.conf&sektion=5">rc.conf</a>. |
|
| </li> |
|
| </ul> |

| <li>For further reading on server setup for network booting in general, |
|
| please refer to the |
|
| <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=diskless&sektion=8">diskless(8)</a> |
|
| manual page. |
|
| </li> |
|
| </ul> |
|
| <p> |
|
| <li>Client Network Boot |
|
| <ul> |
|
| <li>BOOT_ADMIN<br> |
|
| In order to get to the BOOT_ADMIN prompt, hit the <em><esc></em> |
|
| key as the machine is coming up. Once it has probed bootable devices, |
|
| a menu will be displayed; if the prompt is <i>not</i> <b>BOOT_ADMIN</b>, |
|
| it will be necessary to type <i>``a''</i> to access it. |
|
| </li> |
|
| <li>Network boot command<br> |
|
| Once at the 'BOOT_ADMIN' prompt, the command |
|
| <pre> |
|
| BOOT_ADMIN> boot lan isl |
|
| </pre> |
|
| will proceed to the bootstrap of lif35.fs. |
|
| </ul> |
