Yes, it's actually called within the init script. I was doing some =
digging around the FS yesterday.
It's trying to call "bpgetfile install", which would be the following =
bootparam ...
install=3Dserver1:/export/install
It's in the bootparams file, my only guess is that it's not getting =
broadcasted to the local boot server (255.255.255.0 netmask), but trying =
to boot from a boot server with a 10.255.255.255 netmask. At one point, =
the machine sends an "Address mask request".
How can I prevent that request from initiating? I would assume setting =
the netmask somewhere on the shared root point =
(server1:/export/install/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot/etc/netmasks?)
Thanks alot!
Mike
