Subject: a little tftp help on install?

    hi -

    I'm trying to do a remote install via tftp on a Sparc 10... and I haven't
    had luck so far with the following - maybe I am missing something trivial
    or making some obvious mistakes?

    (Sonny is Sun Sparc 10, boot server (speedy) is SuSE 6.4 x86... and this
    is just a small internal Class C without an internet connection for the
    install)

    speedy:~ # rarp -s sonny 08:00:20:1f:1f:87
    speedy:~ # rarp -a
    IP address HW type HW address
    192.168.0.3 10Mbps Ethernet 08:00:20:1f:1f:87
    speedy:~ # arp -s 192.168.0.3 08:00:20:1f:1f:87
    speedy:~ # arp -a
    sonny.jdog.org (192.168.0.3) at 08:00:20:1F:1F:87 [ether] PERM on eth0

    (in /etc/inetd.conf)

    tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd in.tftpd /tftpboot
    bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/bootpd bootpd -c /tftpboot

    (in /etc/services)

    bootps 67/tcp # Bootstrap Protocol Server
    bootps 67/udp # Bootstrap Protocol Server
    tftp 69/tcp # Trivial File Transfer
    tftp 69/udp # Trivial File Transfer

    (in /etc/hosts.allow)

    ALL: ALL

    (in /etc/hosts.deny)

    http-rman : ALL EXCEPT LOCAL

    (/tftpboot - 0777)

    drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Sep 14 00:39 tftpboot

    (in /tftpboot)

    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 13 23:34 192.168.0.3.SUN4M -> tftp32.img
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 13 23:24 C0A80003.SUN4M -> tftp32.img
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1385984 Sep 13 18:27 tftp32.img
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 13 23:40 tftpboot.img -> tftp32.img

    (of course killall -HUP inetd or alternatively /etc/rc.d/init.d/inetd
    stop, /etc/rc.d/init.d/inetd start after everything is set up)

    On Sparc 10... Stop-A, boot net-tpe

    On the server... I check /var/log/messages and see a connect from
    192.168.0.3 via in.tftpd - but the Sun just hangs without doing anything
    else)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated - I didn't find the Remote-Boot
    howto or tftp and various related manpages to offer much more than I
    already have setup.

    - Jason
