My goal: I want to boot my firewall using a readonly floppy that is 'just enough' to fetch everything else needed for for kicking off the current Bering-uClibc.
I have followed the directions on http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/bupxebooting.html but of course they are not for Bering uClibc. This fouls the pxe.lrp package and making the correct root.lrp and intrd.lrp. I think I have that fixed up, but I'll confirm that in a moment. On the 'boot client' side I followed the directions with rom-o-matic.net to make an image for this card: rtl8139:clone-rtl8139 -- [0xffff,0x8139] That's the right card according to cat /proc/pci. I can fetch the pxelinux.0 image from 'localhost' using the tftp client. Where I *think* I'm going wrong is in fetching the rom-o-matic image. I just get the .zdsk. It gets the DHCP address correctly, and it shows in the logs as fetching the pxelinux.0 image, and then it returns an error saying the image is bad. Now, the directions presume I have a pxe bootable bios configuration. Is anyone using the rom-o-matic style 'boot disks' that they can point me in the right direction there? I'll cheerfully append syslog info and other specifics as it makes sense, but my feel on this is that I'm not PXE enough for the pxelinux.0 image to be received and responded to correctly. --Romaq ------------------------------------ William (Andy) Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the new InstallShield X. >From Windows to Linux, servers to mobile, InstallShield X is the one installation-authoring solution that does it all.
