I'm trying to get a sun machine to net boot an openbsd miniroot (there's no OS 
on the machine currently, and no floppy...) and not having much success.

I've set up /etc/bootptab as follows:

           .default:\
                :td=/tftpboot:\
                :hd=/tftpboot:bf=CF219B0B:\
                :ds=dragon:\
                :sm=255.255.255.0:\
                :gw=Icmnsens.awen.com:\
                :hn:to=-28800:

           capon:ha=08002004AEFB:tc=.default:


and have tftpd and bootps uncommented in my inetd.conf, and kill -HUP'd the 
inetd, and see the bootps socket open.

I've renamed the miniroot.fs file to CF219B0B, and put it in /tftpboot and set 
everyone to read permission...

The sun comes up, seems to rarp ok, but gets a receive failure when it tries 
to boot the file.

Any suggestions??

Thanks,
--Mike
