I am having a bit of trouble getting diskless workstations to boot
of of my FreeBSD box. This is the error that is currently tying me up.
Oct 7 22:58:32 jagnew bootparamd: getfile got question for "obi-wan" and file "root"
Oct 7 22:58:32 jagnew bootparamd: getfile failed for obi-wan
now, I think I have setup all my config files correctly but just to make sure,
I will post em.
/etc/bootparams
obi-wan root=/usr/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.2\
swap=/usr/NetBSD/swap/swap.10
/etc/bootptab
obi-wan:\
:bf=/kernel:\
:dn=swars:\
:ds=192.168.41.1:\
:gw=192.168.40.1:\
:ha=08002b2d1165:\
:hd=/usr/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.2:\
:hn:\
:ht=ether:\
:ip=192.168.40.10:\
:sa=192.168.40.1:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:\
:td=/usr/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.2:\
Now other machines on the network, can nfs mount /usr/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.2, so
it is not the nfsd or mount d config. The kernel also boots, so I dont
think it is the bootpd config. Anyway, here is waht I get on tcp dump,
23:18:33.689964 obi-wan.swars.1023 > yoda.swars.tell: udp 80
23:18:38.689378 obi-wan.swars.1023 > yoda.swars.tell: udp 80
23:18:43.856808 obi-wan.swars.1023 > yoda.swars.tell: udp 80
and on thediskless workstation it reports
nfs_boot client addr= 0xc0a8280a
nfs_boot server addr= 0xc0a82801
nfs_boot hostname = obi-wan
then just fills up the screen with
RPC timeoute for server 0xc0a8280a
<and this will keep printing for ever!>
Any help would greatly be aprieciated!
