I am having trouble configuring an Ultra 1 running solaris 8 to netboot another ultra 1 without an os. Following the diskless(8) man page steps, I got to the point where:
9. Copy and customize at least the following files in
/export/myclient/root:
# cd /export/myclient/root/etc
# cp fstab.nfs fstab
# cp /etc/hosts hosts
# echo myclient > myname
# echo "inet 192.197.96.12" > ifconfig.le0
Note that "le0" above should be replaced with the name of the net-
work interface that the client will use for booting.
Should I just create a new fstab file and make the changes from step 10 of diskless(8) or am I missing the fstab.nfs file. Also, I was wondering what myname is refering to in the line " echo myclient > myname ".
BTW: as you probally noticed, I am a newbie to NetBSD in general so please bear with me and my ignorance. I searched usenet and the web for help on this issue and found none. Also, does NetBSD have a channel on IRC? And, any websites that would help me to avoid posting to the mailing list would be appreciated (or even just one person willing to answer questions). Finally, I know AOL sucks but I'm required to use it.
Thanks in Advance,
Gordon
