So I have it working. But maybe i'm missing something. Much of the documentation talks about cd /cfg; mkdir $sysname; dircp example $sysname This seems old and deprecated. I'm not really sure what we are supposed to have in /cfg/$sysname I tried copying cpurc and termrc and booting with each of them the results were strange and buggy. However I made not changes to those files as well. The booting part was the tricky part. I did have two dhcp server running. One for my internet and one for the CPU/Auth. ipnet=yoda ip=192.168.1.0 ipmask=255.255.255.0 ipgw=192.168.1.1 dns=8.8.8.8 auth=192.168.1.172 dnsdom=yoda authdom=yoda fs=192.168.1.1 cpu=foo smtp=foo sys=localhost dom=localhost ip=127.0.0.1 sys=foo dom=foo.yoda ether=525400123336 ip=192.168.1.172 sys=cirno dom=cirno.thinktank ether=080027f9ec98 ip=172.27.0.67 #sys=cpubar dom=foo.yoda ether=525400124242 ip=192.168.1.42 bootf=/386/bootx64.efi sys=cpubar dom=foo.yoda ether=525400124242 ip=192.168.1.42 I did have to make a change to cpubar below. evidently bootx64.efi does not work. When I do manage to boot cpubar it takes the name of foo. However the file system is different as expected. netaudit checking this host's tuple: ip=192.168.1.42 looks ok dom=foo.yoda looks ok no ether entry checking the network tuple: we are not in an ipnet, so looking for entries in host tuple only ipgw=192.168.1.1 looks ok dns=8.8.8.8 looks ok auth=192.168.1.172 looks ok fs=192.168.1.1 looks ok checking auth server configuration: we are not the auth server 192.168.1.172 if this is a mistake, set auth=foo or auth=foo.yoda run auth/debug to test the auth server But i don't see a default mount for the cpu to copy data over /n/other/ is the same for both When I look back the only thing I did or the only change I made is one line to /lib/ndb/local and an install on another system. It seems the less I do the more results as opposed to following a lot of the old documentation. But I still seem to be missing a few things. Any thoughts?
