I tried to pxe boot a cpu server. It gets the /386/9boot to load fine, but then it seems, that it can’t retrieve the file /cfg/pxe/<mac address> from my file server. here is the screen output during bootup: 9boot gz…starting protected-mode loader at 0x900020 Plan 9 from Bell Labs PXE boot loader cpu0: 1800MHz GenuineIntel Atom (cpuid: AX 0x106CA DX 0xBFEBFBFF) ELCR: CC80 #l0: i82598: 10Gbps port 0XFE980000 irq 11: <mac address> #l0: i82598: 10Gbps port 0XFE980000 irq 10: <mac address> 498M memory: 498M kernel data, 0M user, 18M swap pxe on ether0 . <sysname> (10.0.10.1!69): /cfg/pxe/<mac address> .T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.Ttftpread1st: failed to connect to server (10.0.10.1!69) failed. tftpload: file does not exist Which is strange, because I did create the file on my file server.

Thanks to Frank D. Engel Jr., which gave me the hint in a separat email. So I played around with my ndb files, and concluded,… that I don’t quit understand how the ndb works. Given following basic ndb configuration: ; cat /lib/ndb/local # # files comprising the database, use as many as you like, see ndb(6) # database= file=/lib/ndb/local file=/lib/ndb/common # # because the public demands the name localsource # ip=127.0.0.1 sys=localhost dom=localhost # # main network for home.csr.germteig.com # ipnet=main ip=10.0.0.0 ipmask=255.0.0.0 ipsubmask=255.255.0.0 # # server subnetwork # ipnet=srv ip=10.0.0.0 ipmask=255.255.0.0 fs=fs.main.com auth=auth.main.com authdom=servers.main.com sys=auth ip=10.0.0.3 ether=<mac address> dom=auth.main.com sys=cpu ip=10.0.0.4 ether=<mac address> ip=10.0.0.5 ether=<mac address> dom=cpu.main.com bootf=/386/9boot sys=fs ip=10.0.0.10 ether=<mac address> ip=10.0.0.11 ether=<mac address> dom=fs.main.com ; With that, the cpu server boots just fine. It reads its config file under /cfg/pxe/ and loads the kernel. Now if I change the ip address of that cpu server to following: sys=cpu ip=10.0.1.4 ether=<mac address> ip=10.0.1.5 ether=<mac address> dom=cpu.main.com bootf=/386/9boot Then I get the error "tftpload: file does not exist”.
