Folks:

I'm still trying to get my Krups model JavaStation to boot.  Does
anybody understand what the following message from ISC dhcpd
(3.0-something) means?

   if IN A  doesn't exist add 21600 IN A  10.0.0.7: resolver failed.

DHCP prints this message to syslog every time the JavaStation tries to
boot.  I never get past the steaming coffee cup logo on the JS' screen;
it just makes a 'click' sound and resets itself.  The name resolving
environment should be working fine; every other machine can properly
request 10.0.0.7's name.

Any ideas?

The contents of /tftpboot look like:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root   wheel        8 Oct 13 19:56 0A000007@ -> boot.net
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root   wheel        8 Oct 13 19:56 0A000007.SUN4M@ ->
boot.net
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root   wheel        8 Oct 12 19:42 SUNW.JavaEngine1@ ->
boot.net
-rw-r--r--  1 root   wheel    59200 Oct 22  1999 boot.net
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root   wheel  2227542 Mar 16  2000 netbsd*
-r--r--r--  1 myers  14     1577056 Oct  5 18:45 vmlinux.NFSROOT
-r--r--r--  1 root   wheel    89680 Oct  5 19:25 vmlinux.boot

The JS is assigned address 10.0.0.7, which it appears to take, judging
by tcpdump logs.  It tries to load boot.net, makes the clicking sound,
and resets.

(The JS will partially boot Linux using PROLL.  It gets to the point
where it tries to configure its hme interface, and hangs...)

The relevant section of /etc/dhcpd.conf looks like:

host pacifica {
        allow booting;
        filename "boot.net";
        hardware ethernet 8:0:20:90:3f:fb; 
        fixed-address 10.0.0.7;
        option root-path "/usr/root/sun-sparc-netbsd1.4.2";
        next-server 10.0.0.1;
}


Many thanks.
