Re: [9fans] diskless boot of one terminal off kfs machine

[David Presotto <presotto@closedmind.org>]

It sounds like you're booting a kernel but not finding the file
server (or auth server).  Bootp/dhcp (or your plan9.ini) must be
telling you a file server since you're not being prompted for one.

1) does 'netstat -n' on savan show anything listening on 17008?  If not,
  the kfs there isn't listening for network calls.  It doesn't do it by
  default, you have to ask it to.  Do 'disk/kfscmd listen' and then do
  a 'netstat -n'.  man kfscmd

2) are you pointing to the right file server?  What does the /lib/ndb
  entry look like for larch?

3) are you running an auth server on savan?

Also to get the savan to be a boot server, you need to run 'ip/tftpd' in
addition to the ip/dhcpd.

If you still have problems, send me copies of the /lib/ndb files, savan's
/bin/termrc, the plan9.ini on larch, and the output of a 'netstat -n'.
