OK, I'm not that bad at reading directions, but I've done something wrong
:-)...and I am new to the SPARC FreeBSD stuff....
I've setup (via dhcp) a boot/nfs server to boot an Ultra5 off of the BSD
loader/kernel:
host zort {
hardware ethernet 08:00:20:a7:76:2b;
option host-name "zort.cisco.com";
fixed-address 1.1.1.2;
always-reply-rfc1048 on;
next-server 1.1.1.5;
filename "kernel-bsd";
option root-path "1.1.1.5:/tftpboot/bsd";
}
The machine finds the tftp loader and boots OK, then finds and loads the
kernel OK, but then after the normal boot messages I get the following:
...
ad0: 8693MB <ST39140A> [17662/16/63] at ata2-master WDMA2
acd0: CDROM <CRD-8322B> at ata3-master PIO4
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:da0a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
mountroot> ?
---
I thought my dhcp definitions above would tell it where to find the nfs
root so I could boot and then label the disks/etc. I have the distrib
tarball unpacked in the /tftpboot/bsd directory as mentioned in the
definitions above. Nothing I try does much at this point (except
sometimes dump me into the debugger).
Do I need something else? Easier to boot off the ISO? :-)
