> > A while ago a friend of mine and I succedded in netbooting a couple of sun3/50s and 3/60s from a freebsd 2.1.6 machine with the columbia xkernel distribution. At the time it was version 2.0a.. We upgraded the bsd box to 2.2-PRE and now 2.2.1-Release and are not able to get the thing to work. It appears that /sbin/init of the sunos distribution doesnt even run, and the kernel complains that it cant find the bootparamd server. This doesnt make sense since it is able to nfs the kernel and load it, just not the remaining files. > > > > Did you use any programs that are not in the standard bin distribution? > Like programs from /usr/ports?

I suppose saying we upgraded the box from 2.1.6 to 2.2-PRE to 2.2-REL is bad because we didnt, we just installed the new versions fresh. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
