Hy all,

i've been using NetBSD for some time to run on my HP9000/400 system;
the disks are fried so I run it diskless.  But now I wonder why on
earth there's no "netbsd.DISKLESS.gz" anymore since the 1.4.3 release
?

I've tried using the 1.6.2 SYS_UBOOT together with 1.4.1
netbsd-DISKLESS.gz,  i boot the HP, select "SYS_BOOT" from network
boot menu ... it loads fine and show user interface .... but the
SYS_BOOT images does nothing after I hit [return] on the HP box
keyboard ... this is where it should start doing its rarp lookups and
getting its bootinfo from the bootparamd and so on ... but it seems to
be lacking support for doing rarp lookups.

All i get from the HP box is this (tcpdump log) :
19:37:36.160886 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps:  file ""[|bootp]

Is there something broken or am I missing something that's not broken ;-)


thnx & bye,
gert
