[parisc-linux] using lan to boot

[Bas Valkema]

Hi,

I had the same problem, try rbootd (rpm & tar download somewhere on the
puffin.external.hp.com site) & install in Linux x86
Next, install HPPA-Linux bootimage in /export/hp/images (I think, look in
messagedump (/var/adm/messages in my distribution) & edit /etc/rbootd.conf

should work now.

bye, BaZ
