when trying to netboot my c200 to install the 0.9 cd,
it doesnt get very far...

i did a sea lan and get a p0 reference;
P0     LAN.192.168.1.1.3.254    192.168.1.1   100/Full Dx

(192.168.1.1 being my router, .1.10 is my freebsd box).

so when I  boot p0 i get


Cannot find ENTRY_TEST.

Failed to initialize.

ENTRY_INIT
Status = -7


checking the arp cache on my router doesnt even give a reference
to my c200 (i dont even know the c200's booting default ip)

BUT! checking my dhcp ip assignment table in the router i get
3       192.168.1.11    00-60-B0-B2-89-18       11:49:02.600

so I know its created an entry for the machine...
i also know the cable is good (i netboot my sparcstation 5 just peachy).


doing a direct connect from my c200 to my pc (freebsd 4.5) and doing a sea lan
gets no result.

i have my /etc/ethers set with the c200 MAC
i have tftpboot setup, bootpd, rarpd, etc.

if it helps here is some of the techo info from the c200;
(mebbe a known bug in some firmware I have? problem is, since I cant boot
the c200, I cant update the firmware....)
