@ -18,6 +18,39 @@ If the server runs another operating system, you'll have to consult
documentation that came with it (on SunOS systems, add_client(8) is a
good start).
Your Sparcstation expects to be able to download a second stage bootstrap
program via TFTP after havinf acquired its IP address through RevARP when
instructed to boot "over the net". It will look for a filename composed of
the machine's IP address followed by the machine's architecture, separated
by a period. For example, a sun4c machine which has been assigned IP
address 130.115.144.11, will make an TFTP request for `8273900B.SUN4C'.
Normally, this file is symbolic link to an appropriate second-stage
boot program, which should be located in a place where the TFTP daemon
can find it (remember, many TFTP daemons run in a chroot'ed environment).
You can find the boot program in `/usr/mdec/boot' in the NetBSD/sparc
distribution. Unfortunately, it is necessary to install this file
differently for sun4 and sun4c clients: the sun4 version needs to have its
`a.out' header stripped off (otherwise the machine will crash), while the
sun4c version must retain it (otherwise the PROM will complain).
Here's an example to illustrate this whole mess:
server# cd /<client-root-dir>/usr/mdec
if client is a sun4:
server# set SKIP=1
server# set KARCH=SUN4
else
server# set SKIP=0
server# set KARCH=SUN4C
server# dd if=boot of=/tftpboot/boot.sparc.netbsd.$KARCH skip=$SKIP bs=32
server# cd /tftpboot
server# ln -s boot.sparc.netbsd.$KARCH 8273900B.$KARCH
Note: some versions of Openboot ROMs (sun4c) seem to require that the
boot program size is nicely rounded. Therefore it may be necessary to
strip(8) off the symbol table.
As noted above in the section `Preparing your System for NetBSD Installation',
you have several options when choosing a location to store the installation
filesets. However, the easiest way is to put the *.tar.gz files you want
