I think I FOUND solution. What is your server and your
diskless?
Problem is that P6 optimized init does not work on K6
:-(
Also if you wish use etherboot, you need copy your
kernel into
/tftpboot
I have tested this. I don't have yet working config,
but I simple
copied kernel to /tftpboot and made "init" like this:
main() { reboot(0); }
I my diskless now constantly reboots!!! :-) That is
very good.
I made 2 mistakes during testing: puts, write etc.
does not work in
"init" even statically linked, because my libs was for
P6. And I have
K6-2 diskless. Now I'm rebuilding world for i386. Then
I'll install it
into /usr/local/Diskless and I hope I'll have working
config :-)

How do I know if I have a P6 optimised /sbin/init? I
have a dual celeron (P6) and have it running in SMP
mode and have compiled a kernel that is optimised for
the P6. I don't know any of the other files were also
optimised.
Can you tell me what I have to export to the diskless
client? Is there an easy way to do this. I'm a
newbie when it comes to diskless booting.
I have kernel in /tftpboot, otherwise the diskless
machine wouldn't be booting the kernal would it :)
