Subject: [9fans] diskless terminal
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 12:51:25 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200006270350.XAA27930@cse.psu.edu> (raw)

I'm planning to have two file servers of release 2 and 3, and a auth server
(if possible) and terminals, Suns for release 2, PCs for release 3.  For PCs
I expect to switch relase by different booting floppies.

I have two file servers up, andesite(release 2) and gabbro(release 3).
I also have two diskless auth/cpu servers for relase 2(rhyolite) and
release 3(diabase).  These works fine, I suppose.

When I login to a release 2 terminal, and dispatch a command say
term% rx diabase man dhcpd
then, I have man pages for release 3 from release 3 file server (gabbro).
When I dispatch telnet command to a machine outside the Plan 9 system,
then it's successfull connection to the machine.  From these observations
I suppose my release 3 auth/cpu server is working fine.

However, when I tried to boot release 3 terminal from a PC, I get never
success.

When I tried to boot from 9load only floppy, I have
bootp timed out.

When I tried to boot from 9load +9pc.gz, after root is from: message I have
boot: can't connect to file server: connection timed out (connect 192.168.1.10!17008)
panic: boot process died: unknown

I'm in stuck.  What am doing wrong?  I probably don't understand
the 9LOAD mechanism...
