Hi,
| Is anyone on this list able to test i386 / tftp and see if it's really
| broken? If so, this is an "important" bug. It's easy enough to fix
| -- e.g, just disable TFTP on i386 if we have to.
i have written this to the bug a few days ago:
i had a look at the cvs-sources of boot-floppies:
IMHO the bug is in /tftpboot.sh:
- ----- section where root.bin is appended -----
# append rootimage to the kernel
if [ "$arch" = sparc ]; then
tilo -o $tftpimage.tmp $tftpimage $rootimage
mv $tftpimage.tmp $tftpimage
elif [ "$arch" = arm ]; then
if (echo $tftpimage | grep -q cats); then
catsboot $tftpimage.tmp $tftpimage $rootimage
mv $tftpimage.tmp $tftpimage
fi
if (echo $tftpimage | grep -q netwinder); then
cat $rootimage >>$tftpimage
fi
elif [ "$arch" = "mips" -o "$arch" = "mipsel" ]; then
mips-specials/addinitrd $tftpimage $rootimage $tftpimage.tmp
mv $tftpimage.tmp $tftpimage
fi
- ----- end section -----
a root.bin is only appended to sparc, arm, mips and mipsel. so the
bootfloppies should be broken on all other platforms.
