Package: install-doc
Version: 3.0.24
Severity: minor
After reading section 4.4.1 of Installation Manual for SPARC it is not
clear where the machine will try to find TFTP server after receiving IP
address via RARP.
According to Solaris8 man boot(1M):
When booting
over the network, the PROM makes a reverse ARP request and
when it receives a reply, the PROM broadcasts a TFTP request
to fetch inetboot over the network from any server that
responds and executes it.
In my case it was Sun Ultra1 with OpenBoot 3.11.1 and it broadcasts on
255.255.255.255:tftp requesting /client-ip-in-hex.
