Hi, I've been having some problems recently trying to get a Sun 3/50 booting off of a -current machine. The Sun was previously booting off of a Linux box fine, and since I'm recycling the config files, I'm led to believe that it may be a -current problem. Symptoms: rarpd and tftpd seem to be working fine. The sun finds its kernel, dl's it, starts reporting the devices found, and then hangs briefly after reporting the bw2 card. then the following message pops up: No bootparam server responding, still trying whoami: pmap_rmtcall status 0x5 which kinda doesnt make sense, cause it found the bootparam server earlier (from server logs) Oct 10 15:58:29 eddie bootparamd: whoami got question for 131.104.48.118 Oct 10 15:58:29 eddie bootparamd: This is host carlsberg.cis.uoguelph.ca Oct 10 15:58:29 eddie bootparamd: Returning carlsberg 131.104.48.34 Oct 10 15:58:30 eddie bootparamd: getfile got question for "carlsberg" and file "root" Oct 10 15:58:30 eddie bootparamd: returning server:eddie.cis.uoguelph.ca path:/usr/export/Xkernel.sun3 address: 131.104.48.34 I'm using the sun kernel/bootfile from the Linux-XKernel v2.0 package.
