I have been trying to turn a 486 that I have into a diskless workstation
and have not gotten very far. I have compiled Etherboot, and set up the
server with tftp and bootp. I have both daemons enabled. When I boot
up the 486 machine tcpdump yields this:
[root:dragon]# tcpdump -i de0 -e
tcpdump: listening on de0
11:34:14.767283 0:0:b2:0:0:be Broadcast ip 342: 0.0.0.0.0
255.255.255.255.bootps: (request) xid:0x52850a00 secs:9 [|bootp]
11:34:24.653629 0:0:b2:0:0:be Broadcast ip 342: 0.0.0.0.0
255.255.255.255.bootps: (request) xid:0x52850a00 secs:18 [|bootp]
.
.
.
and so on.
Bootp then complains, "bootpd[350]: sendto: Can't assign requested
address"
As you can see, I'm not getting very far. Below are my configuration
files, please EMail back if you need other ones.
Thank You,
Dan Diephouse
