Re: Problem with Netboot and MicroVax trying to install NetBSD

Based on Henry Bent's suggestion, I got boot.mop from the 1.5

checking /var/log/messages I get:

mopd[831]: 8:0:2b:1d:a:c8 (1) Do you have 08002b1d0ac8? (Yes)

over and over. On the Vax I still get ?54 Retry. So it looks like the
Vax is asking for the right file, and it seems that mopd is
acknowledging the request, but on the console I keep getting:

MOP DL 802.3 8:0:2b:1d:a:c8 > ab:0:0:1:0:0 len 47 code 08 RPR

This looks like the vax doesn't see the answer from your i386 machine.

The vax has a AUI connector and a BNC connector. Between them is a
small switch selecting which is active. Is the switch in the correct position?

Do you use a tranciver? Are you sure it is working...

-moj

again and again. 00:0c:29:a9:04:72 is the ether address of my i386
NetBSD box I'm trying to serve from.
