I've done it the other way around :-) I set up things so that my Sun 3/80 boots diskless from my BSD box as an X terminal (using the Xkernel-2.0 package). It works, er, worked fine until not long ago -- I'll get to that later :-) I could try and write up something for this configuration (using FreeBSD as a Xterminal server). Anyway, since I rebuilt to current (last time was mid-December), my setup doesn't work anymore -- the 3/80 boots until it gets all its devices probed, then hangs right after bwtwo0: resolution 1152 x 900. Tcpdump tells me this: 01:08:06.428181 arp who-has machine.frmug.fr.net tell machine.frmug.fr.net 01:08:06.432657 machine.frmug.fr.net.1023 > 193.56.58.0.sunrpc: udp 100 01:08:09.422835 machine.frmug.fr.net.1023 > 193.56.58.0.sunrpc: udp 100 01:08:15.422854 machine.frmug.fr.net.1023 > 193.56.58.0.sunrpc: udp 100 01:08:27.422984 machine.frmug.fr.net.1023 > 193.56.58.0.sunrpc: udp 100 on and on... The new bootparamd doesn't seem to work any better :-( What is strange is it DOES get as far as booting the kernel. -- Phil -- - [ regnauld@tetard.frmug.fr.net / +48.8N+2.3E / +33 1 4507 9391 / Sol 3 ] - - [ regnauld@freenix.fr / FreeBSD 2.x / ] - "Le schtroumpf est à l'homme ce que le bleu est au billard" - F.Berjon
