I've set up my /tftpboot directory, and installed dhcpd and tftpd.

Hello.
I am trying to get my PowerMac 5500/225 to netboot using BootP,
TFTP, and a kernel image, but I do not know how. Any help would be
appreciated. I am also trying to get my Beige G3 300 to netboot, and it
fails after loading the kernel image.
Thank you.

Hello all,
i was wondering, has anyone tried netbooting Debian on PPC? I own
a Beige G3, the one that has a lot of problems with OpenFirmware (it´s
OF 2.01f) and because of that I can only boot Linux via BootX, which
annoys me very much because I have to keep MacOS and all this 5
partitions

Hello all!
This is in reference to the netbooting howto on penguinppc.org...
I'm able to get the server to pass the kernel to the netbooting client, but
then the client can't mount the NFS filesystem. It sees it, but it won't
mount.
i have one g3 running debian. i would like to netboot a number of g3s
hooked up to the server already running. i have read the yaboot/netboot
how-tos on penguinppc.org but still have some questions:
1. do i need a native filesystem (i.e. swap, root, etc) on the
clients?
2. i need a 'copy of ya
don't know much about netbooting on oldworlds, its not
officially supported by apple and all i have heard is that some of the
more recent oldworld OF implementations have some half assed netboot
abilities.

As that page itself says, this only applies to NewWorld Macs. I

Okie.. it is kind of a complicated story, but the point is that

HI there,
There was a follow up by another thread 'problem
installing linux on an IBM RS6000 44P-170 machine' but
I guess more people would be interested in this test.
As Jens suggested, I downloaded the
vmlinuz-chrp.initrd from
http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/power3/netboot/
.
I can netboot my G4 cube successfully from Open Firmware using
boot enet:,yaboot
Using ethereal, I see that the G4 gets the DHCPACK and proceeds to
download yaboot from my TFTP server.
But when I boot holding down the 'N' key, it does something different.
After getting the exact same DHCP
