Hi all,

I'm trying to boot via bootp and am getting the following error:

Main Menu: Enter command > bo alt
Interact with IPL (Y, N, or Cancel)?> n

Booting... 
Network Station Address 0060b0-dd9d80
System IP Address 15.16.124.10
Server IP Address 15.16.123.90

Cannot find ENTRY_TEST.

Error Reading IPL

and then back to the command prompt.
This failed on both the A180 and 715/100.
715 reports "Cannot load IPL, error detected" instead.

Can I assume bootp found the right entry since it knew the IP addresses?
If so, then only the contents of Image aren't right.

What's changed?
I don't know if something my local copy of CVS is wrong or if something
in the CVS tree changed.

I've done:
	o cvs -z9 update -d
	o mv /linux/linux /linux/grundler/linux
		(so other folks using this build host know what's mine.
		this might be screwing me up)
	o find/rm all *.o and *.flags
	o make oldconfig/dep/Image
	o updated /etc/bootptab to reflect change in path name.
	o tried to boot - bootp server is same machine I build on.

(Sample /etc/bootptab entry:
ggg715:\
	hn:\
	sm=255.255.248.0:\
	vm=rfc1048:\
	ht=ether:\
	ha=0800095F7A88:\
	ip=15.16.124.10:\
	bf=/linux/grundler/linux/arch/parisc/boot/Image
)


thanks,
