Last time I played with this code, I was having the "old firmware doesnt send the enet addr so you need to hard code it into the boot image or upgrade your firmware" problem. (AStation200 4/100). Unfortunately after flashing the firmware from ARC, arc was ok, but upon switching to SRM, SRM just spews out all kinds of hex dumps and the machine reboots. I've since heard about the jumper that is supposed to let you boot off of floppy, but i'm not sure what jumper it is on this box (AServer300 is J2, but I tried this on the 200 and it never talks to the floppy drive I added) Anyhoo, if somebody has any ideas on how I can fix my 200, I'd be more than happy to try and netboot the thing =) -Shawn On Wed, 15 Dec 1999, Doug Rabson wrote: > On Tue, 14 Dec 1999, Wilko Bulte wrote: > > > Has anybody recently tested the netboot functionality of FreeBSD/alpha? > > > > Reason for asking is that an older netboot exec seems to work: > > > > FreeBSD/alpha SRM net boot, Revision 0.1 > > (root@alpine.iaf.nl, Tue Oct 19 18:47:13 CEST 1999) > > Memory: 98304 k > > > > but the one in -current does not appear to. > > I haven't tested it for a couple of months. > > -- > Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com > Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
