I'm trying to boot another node via bootp/tftp.
I'm monitoring what's going on with tcpdump -vv.
bootpd starts fine, and seems to read /etc/bootptab
correctly.
But after that nothing happens, and after a few minutes
I get on the console of the host which I want to boot:
bootp()/bsd.rd.IP32
Unable to execute bootp()/bsd.rd.IP32: invalid argument
How big is bsd.rd.IP32? Does the BUGS section of tftpd(8) apply?
If so, try ftp/tftp-hpa. It's faster, too, AFAIR.
