I am trying to install 3.2 from a server on the net. The machines are properly
configured (I can read from a remote tape). I need to know the prom monitor
command to access the remote distribution directory. The manual says the format
should be:
boot -f $tapedevice(sash.ip6) --m (page 3-14)
It doesn't specify what tapedevice should be set to. The remote server is
called "avelon". So I try:
setenv tapedevice bootp()avelon:/dis_directory/
but this wont work because there is no "sash" program (its called "sa"). I've
tried every variation I can think of. The closest seems to be:
boot -f bootp()avelon:/dis_directory/sa --m
This gives the message I am looking for ("Obtaining /distribution_dir from
server avelon"), but complains about inappropriate byte order. That's
probably because I can't figure out how to tell it that I want sash.ip6
I am going to call the hotline, but if anyone has been here before, I'd
appreciate a reply.
Thanks.
