Re: Booting from network

Sorry - missed the original on this... Do you have a rarpd server on the network? Later kernel 2.3 and all 2.4 does not support rarp any more (I have the same problem, and rarpd the new daemon for rarp won't compile for me) At 08:46 AM 6/28/00 +1000, you wrote: > "Jim" == Jim Koontz <[

Booting from network

I have an old Sparcstation LX that I'd like to install Debian on.  It has no CD-ROM, or floppy drive.  The network card does have a boot PROM, however, I cannot get the sparc to boot over the network.   I have downloaded the boot image, and the Debian base install to my server (6.0 Red Hat).
