[parisc-linux] bootp and tftp

[Mehta, Miten]

Hello,

parisc boot howto does not talk much on setting bootp up as much I
understood.  I referred hp docs too to verify bootp setup.  But it did not
work.  Here are more details.

appended to /etc/bootptab:
===========================
peacock:\
	hd=/var/opt/ignite:\
	rp=/linux:\
	ht=ethernet:\
	ha=000100010001:\           <=============changed
	ip=192.168.1.21:\           <=============changed
	bf=lifimage:\
	sm=255.255.255.0:\
	gw=192.168.1.1:\
	to=7200:                     <========== here I added ba for
bootpquery


enabled tftp and bootp in sam and seems resulted in following two lines in
/etc/inetd.conf
============================================================================
===============
tftp        dgram  udp wait   root /usr/lbin/tftpd    tftpd\
	/opt/ignite\
	/var/opt/ignite
bootps	dgram	udp	wait	root	/usr/lbin/bootpd	bootpd

There are bootps, bootpc, tftp entries in /etc/services.

ps -e | grep bootp  shall show it running and so does for rbootd.

Error I get when doing 
bootpquery 000100010001 -s myhost 
is Address in use.

um, is there a question in there some place? what did you try? what did
the error message say? 

this sounds like a generic bootp setup problem.... have you looked at
the parisc boot howto?
