This capability stopped somewhere around FBSD 2.1.7. With an identical /etc/bootparams file NetBSD 1.3 boots these Suns just fine. This behavior seems to be universal to several other FreeBSD/Sun3 X users. (personal e-mail) I will be happy to help in tracking down this problem as I have both FreeBSD and NetBSD running at this site. >How-To-Repeat: Boot Sun 3. It receives only partial info required if bootparamd server is FreeBSD. It receives all required info if rpc.bootparmad server is NetBSD or SunOS. >Fix: Unknown. However, I have a working NetBSD server and several non working FreeBSD bootparamd servers with source. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: iedowse State-Changed-When: Mon Mar 26 16:24:18 PST 2001 State-Changed-Why: Is this still a problem in recent releases? This may be the all-zeros broadcast problem that requires a workaround to netboot sun Xkernel machines. If so, there are are examples of how to work around this in the archives. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=5746 State-Changed-From-To: feedback->closed State-Changed-By: iedowse State-Changed-When: Mon Mar 26 16:33:05 PST 2001 State-Changed-Why: Mail to originator bounces. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=5746 >Unformatted:
