Hello,
For a long time I have been using diskless boot
for several of my 4.X systems.
At the moment I have a 5.3-Beta7 PC and want to try
that out as the master for another diskless PC.
I follow the 4.X style from the Handbook, using the
bootpd setup; I have applied modifications for 5.X
here and there (f.ex. in the clone_root script),
but I am still at a loss why it's not working.
tftp is enabled in inetd, but I start bootpd from
the command line, to watch its verbose output:
---------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------
The diskless PC finds the bootpd server, starts
loading the kernel (lots of "......." on the
screen, and there's a "[done]" at the end.
Then the diskless system waits for a few minutes
and reboots, repeating the above all over again.
I actually can boot the "diskless" PC normally,
because it does have a harddisk; in that case,
when I probe bootpd and rpcbind to the master
(192.168.123.254) I get:
# bootptest 192.168.123.254
bootptest: version 2.4.3

100000 2,3,4 local,udp6,tcp6,udp,tcp rpcbind
superuser
100005 3,1 tcp6,udp6,tcp,udp mountd
superuser
What worries me is, when I do on the master:
# showmount -e -a
RPC: Port mapper failure
showmount: can't do mountdump rpc
Any idea what I have done wrong?
Or how to investigate this further?
Thanks,
Rob.
