No need for swap just yet.
This is the relevant segment I have in my dhcpd.conf:
host macfreebsd {
hardware ethernet 00:30:65:A1:7B:AC;
fixed-address 192.168.0.11;
option host-name "macfbsd";
always-reply-rfc1048 on;
option root-path "192.168.0.1:/export/macfbsd/root";
option routers 192.168.0.1;
filename "loader";
next-server 192.168.0.1;
}
The loader has been copied into the /tftpboot directory, and the root filesystem
dumped into /export/macfbsd/root. NFS has been setup on the server (192.168.0.1)
to export this directory.
To boot, get to the OpenFirmware prompt and
0 > boot enet:,loader (works on all G3/G4 systems, older G3's can get away with 'enet:0')
Unfortunately, there currently seems to be a problem with the root directory on
NFS mounts
# ls /
/: /: Bad file descriptor
even though 'ls /bin' works fine.
I'm looking into it.
later,
Peter.
