SPARCstation 20 RARP boot

Hi,

I am working on a way to perform a diskless boot from a Ultra 10 to SPARCstation 20 server. I installed Debian Linux on the Ultra 10 and I set up the RARP server and tftp server. I also created the ethers file with the MAC address and IP of the SPARCstation 20.

Both seem to be running fine but when I try and type innet boot i keep getting RARP timeout. It seems to be sending a signal to the Ultra 10 but it still will not work. Would anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Depending on how linux's rarpd works, you may need to add or remove leading 0s in /etc/ethers.

Check the manpage, but typically I put a name in /etc/ethers and then map that to address in /etc/hosts.

Also, did you -HUP or bounce rarpd after updating ethers? I know in some situations I had to poke rarpd to get it to re-read the ethers file (ditto bootparamd and /etc/bootparams).

Hi, Thank you for your help. I am new to this so can you put it into simpler terminology so that I could better understand. Thank you.
