I have an Indy here to play with (no OS). For grins, and my
self education I am trying to use DHCP to do the bootp off a BSDI 4.1
system.
DHCP does fine for IP assignment. Could someone who know
the magic incantation for DHCP share them with me. Yes I can just go
and use bootp + tftp. The man entries are a bit vague how to do use DHCP.
Here is my last try - tftp is never started. tftp does work from another
system.
host indicus {
allow bootp;
allow booting;
filename "netbsd.ip32";
next-server guppy;
hardware ethernet 08:00:69:08:fb:1a;
fixed-address indicus.uimage.com;
}
My last partial port was BSD4.0 to a 16032 (aka ns32k) many many
many years ago. Chris Torek explained what I need to do I did it.
I presume the correct syntax for booting the indy is
bootp():netbsd.ip32
Thanks (willing to be told any or all parts of what I am trying are wrong)
