I am trying to make a network boot. Here is my /etc/bootptab file:
global.dummy:
:hd=/boot:
:bf=null:
:sm=255.255.255.0:
CP303:tc=global.dummy:ht=ether:ha=00.80.82.33.04.84:
:ip=192.9.200.140:bf=/boot/fs/CP303.ifs:
When remote client boots it shows the following information and stops forever:
ROM segment 0xd000 length 0x8000 reloc 0x9400
Etherboot 5.0.4 (GPL) Tagged ELF (Free BSD) (Multiboot) a.out for [EEPRO100]
Probing… [EEPRO100]Ethernet addr: 00:80:82:33:04:84
Searching for server (DHCP)…
Me: 192.9.200.140, Server: 192.9.200.12, Relay: 192.9.200.12, Gateway: 192.9.200.12
Loading 192.9.200.12:/boot/fs/CP303.ifs
The bootpd writes the following information to /var/log/syslog:

This is my first experience with the bootpd. I wouldn’t wonder if I’m doing something wrong.
Sincerely,
Serge
