I am running redhat 8.0 and am trying to boot a diskless computer. It
has a SIS 900 ethernet chip on-board. I am booting using a floppy. I
think the floopy part is working OK because what I get on the computer
I am trying to boot is:
Seaching for Boot Record from Floppy..OK
.000021.0000 done
ROM segment 0x0800 length 0x4000 reloc 0x9400
Etherboot 5.0.8 (GPL) Tagged ELF for [SIS900]
Boot from (N)etwork or from (L)ocal? N
Probing...[SIS900]Found SIS 900 ROM address 0xfe80
sis900_probe: MAC addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX at ioaddr 0XD400
sis900_probe: Vendor:0X1039 Device:0X0900
sis900_probe: AMD 79C901 10BASE-T PHY transceiver found at address

sis900_probe: Using AMD 79C901 10BASE-T PHY as default

Searching for server (DHCP)...
..Me: 192.168.0.100, Server 192.160.0.101
Loading 192.168.0.101:vmlinuz.cutie ...........
On the computer that is running dhcpd (sleepy 192.168.0.101) the
/etc/dhcpd.conf is
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
filename "vmlinuz.cutie";
host cutie {
hardware ethernet XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX; // MAC same
as above
fixed-address 192.168.0.100;
filename "vmlinuz.cutie";
}
}
/etc/xinetd.d/tftp is
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file
transfer \
# protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot
diskless \
# workstations, download configuration files to
network-aware printers, \
# and to start the installation process for some operating
systems.
service tftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /tftpboot
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
}
The contents of /tftpboot are
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jan 20 23:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Jan 24 23:56 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 carl carl 820224 Jan 20 23:39 vmlinuz.cutie
If I run tcpdump while trying to boot the diskless machine I get
this sequence
00:38:43.474508 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps:

Am I missing something or do I need to provide more information>?
Any information would be appreciated.
Carl
