I have 2 9000/710 diskless workstations that seem to be working.  Now I
would like to get them to netboot.  I have downloaded rbootd and
compilied and configured (images are in /u03/hp/rbootd) it.  I have also
downloaded the latest Image and nfsroot files.

The rbootd seems to get a request (debug output at end of email) but the
systems doesn't see any boot devices after the "search" is complete.
What am I doing wrong,  is the procedure documented anywhere???

Thanks
Jim

know what else to do with it...
