One will have a <em>boot.lif</em> file to boot then in the obj-directory.

One will have a <a href=http://hppa.fries.net/#boot_lif><em>boot.lif</em></a>

file to boot then in the obj-directory.

That image may include <em>diskless</em> kernel image if one was available

in the <em>sys/arch/hppa/compile/DISKLESS/bsd</em>.

Kernel cross-build process is similiar to the one for boot, consult

config(8) and options(8) for kernel build options and configuration.

<small>info was typed from screen, sorry for typos</small>

<hr>

In order to use the <a href=http://hppa.fries.net/#boot_lif>boot.lif</a> files

you must prepare your server and instruct your machine to boot off the network:

<ol><li>Server setup</li><br>

<a href=http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rbootd&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&format=html>rbootd</a> must be setup and started<br>

<ul><li><bold>/etc/<a href=http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rbootd&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&format=html>rbootd</a>.conf </bold> contains a single line per machine

you ented 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. For example:

<pre>

8:0:9:70:c4:11 <a href=#boot_lif>boot.lif</a> # 9000/720

8:0:9:19:fb:a0 <a href=#boot_lif>boot.lif</a> # 9000/725

</pre>

</li></ul></li>

<li> For further reading on server setup for network booting in general, see also: <a href=http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=diskless&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&format=html>diskless(8)</a>.</li>

</ul>

<li>Client Network Boot</li><br>

<ul><li>BOOT_ADMIN <br>

In order to get to the BOOT_ADMIN prompt, you must hit <em>\<esc\></em> as the

machine is coming up. Once it probes bootable devices, type 'a' for

the 'BOOT_ADMIN' prompt.

</li>

<li>network boot command <br>

Once at the 'BOOT_ADMIN' prompt, type:

<pre>

BOOT_ADMIN> boot lan isl

</pre>

... and you are on your way to booting boot.lif!

</li>

</ul>

</ol>
