I think Peter means http://people.freebsd.org/~grehan/ppc-root-120204.tbz2 This contains all the files you need for a minimal 'install'. Also, it seems there is no more kernel at the URL given, but the file above should contain the latest kernel 'released' (which, I believe, does not contain a working driver for the kauai ata controller).

I tried both the kernel listed above, and the kernel in the ppc-root tarball, and they both hang at the pci2 bus probe. Unfortunately, I don't have a keyboard at that point, so a dmesg is difficult, but the last lines of boot -s -v are: found-> vendor=0x106b, dev=0x0032, revid=0x80 bus=0, slot=15, func=0 class=02-00-00, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=0 cmdreg=0x0006, statreg=0x84a0, cachelnsz=32 (dwords) lattimer=0x20 (960ns), mingnt=0x40 (16000 ns), maxlat=0x40 (16000 ns) intpin=a, irq=41 Then, that's it. I also tried kernel.kauai and it says ata1: cannot allocate memory, but does get me to the mountroot prompt (with no disk unfortunately). Oh, this is a 2nd rev 12" powerbook (1Ghz).

Specifically, place the file "loader" which is normally found under /boot on a FreeBSD machine under your directory /tftproot so that it will get served out to your client Mac. Of course be sure this is the loader produced specifically for the powerpc version of FreeBSD. Everything else should be under the directory you specify as your system root to be served out via NFS. Specifically in your case this would be your /ppc-root-latest directory. A word of caution -- you are attempting to follow directions for setting up a server which are intended for configuring a FreeBSD server. You have done this under OS X instead. I do not know if the FreeBSD loader is capable of reading an NFS export hfs+ formated volume. Also, my understanding is that the Apple version of UFS is incompatible with the FreeBSD (much more standardized) version. In other words, it may not be possible to netboot FreeBSD from a Mac at this time. Anyone with more knowledge please chime in -- regardless I'd be interested in the outcome if you would like to give it a try anyway, David.

Sean is saying it might not be possible to use OSX as a server for netboot. The only issue osx poses (that I can think of anyway) is HFS+'s case insensitivity, but I would think getting the machine booted would be doable. I always thought that was the point of nfs.... :) You seem to be having dhcp server issues at this point. Does the imac you are trying to netboot run macos of any type or linux or something? Can that OS get an ip from the G4 dhcp server? -p > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ppc-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > From owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Mar 6 11:03:13 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9938B16A4CE for ; Sat, 6 Mar 2004 11:03:13 -0800 (PST) Received: from scaup.mail.pas.earthlink.net (scaup.mail.pas.earthlink.net [207.217.120.49]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 83A7543D2D for ; Sat, 6 Mar 2004 11:03:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from webmaster@machowto.com) Received: from h-68-167-189-170.dnvtco56.covad.net ([68.167.189.170] helo=[192.168.0.4]) by scaup.mail.pas.earthlink.net with esmtp (Exim 3.33 #1) id 1Azh4r-0003Kz-00 for freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org; Sat, 06 Mar 2004 11:03:13 -0800 User-Agent: Microsoft-Entourage/10.1.4.030702.0 Date: Sat, 06 Mar 2004 12:03:12 -0700 From: "David S.

I changed the Open Firmware command to this:"boot enet:,192.168.0.4/loader" it gives me the client/server deal and then says can't fine and can't open loader. So I think the root of my issue is the tftp server doesn't seem to be working. I need some help with that because once that is working it should boot, and I will be able to access it from NFS. ~Dave
