Kernel patch (against
Linux/m68k
2.1.99). Updated 12/5/98
-
SYS_UBOOT NetBSD network bootloader
-
rbootd - NetBSD remote boot daemon,
hacked to work under Linux
-
genaout.c - quick hack to generate a.out
headers. Combined with objcopy you can use this to turn ELF kernel
images into something that the NetBSD booter understands.
To diskless boot over the network, you have to do something like this:
-
Make sure that your server machine has rpc.bootparamd, rbootd, rarp and
nfsd installed.
-
Create a directory /usr/mdec/rbootd and put SYS_UBOOT in it.
-
Add the client machine to the RARP and bootparams tables on the server.
-
Create a directory /tftpboot/<client>, make it NFS exported and put
the compressed kernel image there (call it "netbsd.gz")
-
That's it.
