Here's the scoop: The server is a SparcStationII running SunOS 4.1.1B
(no NIS-- nameservice is done through the 4.8.3 Bind code) and the client
that I'm trying to turn into an Xterminal is a Sun3/60. The boot sequence
starts off well, and the 3/60 downloads the boot code from the SSII, but
then we get to the fatal:
Using IP Address 130.91.16.9 = B25B1009
No bootparam server responding; still trying
No bootparam server responding; still trying
No bootparam server responding; still trying
[...etc...]
I've tried running rpc.bootparamd on the server with the debugging flag
(-d) enabled and I get the following error messages:
bp_getclntent failed.
bp_getclntent failed.
bp_getclntent failed.
My bootparms file looks like:
oldiron root=/export/root/Xkernel\
swap=/export/swap/Xkernel
and I've tried every combination of hostname, fully-qualified hostname, and
no hostname that I can think of in the /etc/hosts and /etc/bootparams files.
Please email me any ideas and I'll try them out and summarize. Thanks!
