Hi,
i have an old e4000 here where i just wanted to see
how the installation of SuSE 7.3 works, but i cannot
get past the first steps.
"boot net" or "boot net - install" works fine up to the point
where it says searching for infofile (i was also wondering why
it looks for an infofile, if i just booted over the network
via "boot net" and not "boot net - install"?):
18:40:52 {0} ok
18:40:52 {0} ok boot net

and there it hangs and it doesn't do anything. :-(
questions:
- is there some docu related to how to boot a sparc using Linux
over the network?
- the machine isn't pingable anymore, why is the network interface
down again?
- the serial console (sorry, there's no chance getting anything
else hooked up) shows only garbage in the end. is there a
way to tell linuxrc or whatever is being used to show me characters
which i can read over the serial line?
- i cannot even break the machine, is hardware break with the bootkernel
disabled in SuSE 7.3? i tried to send after sending the h/w break
another character like i do with the i386 machines (SYSRQ), but it didn't
work either.
worth to mention: the nfs server is a multihomed Linux/i386 machine
and i mounted the iso images as loopback fs and cpio'ed the contents
into a specific dir, which i exported like "/export/scratch \
@netgroup_where_client_is_member_of(rw,no_root_squash)". the bootparam
entry is pointing for the miniroot into the inst-sys dir, for the
install stuff (which shouldn't be relevant for just booting over
the network), the root dir is specified where all the images were
cpio'ed to.
any good advice?
cheers,
~dirkw
