Thanks Dave.
Unfortunately none of those 3 things are happening at all.
The bootparam server is the NIS server, it has had it's domain name set
all along.
Originally I didn't have a ns=:nis line in /etc/bootparams (which always
worked in the past,) but even when I added it it didn't help.
I've also tried a domain=Engineering.NIS line, both with and without the
ns=:nis line. Nothing seems to help.
I'm running rpc.bootparamd in debug mode and I'm only seeing the one
get_file1 call.
I though it might have to do with me putting all the Jumpstart NFS info
into the GRUB menu.lst file, so I backed that out so that the kernel
line just has '- install' and -B options for the serial console. That
complains that the Install media not being found (even though I did add
all of that to the /etc/bootparams) and snoop and rpc.bootparamd don't
show any requests at all from the client.
Any ideas?
