I am pleased to announce my first boot of JOS. It sure feels good to see what JOS looks like. I am using Etherboot, not GRUB. I created a boot disk. I use TFTP to download jjos-nbi. I'm using the JOS Binary Distribution 1d. While there were many obstacles to booting JOS across the network, I worked through each one. The last two are most interesting. 1. The bootptab example in the /doc directory does not work on my machine. When bf=/tftpboot/jjos-nbi, my JOS machine searches for /tftpboot/tftpboot/jjos-nbi I changed the line for my JOS machine from this: jos:tc=.default:ha=00A024779EF5:ip=10.0.0.5:bf=/tftpboot/jjos-nbi to this: jos:tc=.default:ha=00A024779EF5:ip=10.0.0.5:bf=/jjos-nbi (Of course, I changed the MAC address to match my NIC.) 2. I started bootpd manually. After configuring and re-configuring inetd, I have been unable to get inetd to start bootpd for my JOS machine. By starting bootpd manually, I can boot my JOS machine. Thanks to everyone! _______________________________________________ Kernel maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jos.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
