- I found a strange error: in the /dev subdirectory
SunOS corrupted the device entries so I needed to rerun MAKEDEV by
mounting the subdirectory onto a disk based Linux box.
(The reason was the differences between the linux nfs and the SunOs
nfs: both use 32 bit for the Major and Minor device number,
but linux uses 16 bit wide fields for both, SunOs uses 14 bit wide field
for Major and 18 bit wide filed for Minor device number.)
- When the diskless linux gets booted, there is only one
route included in the routing table to the tftp server, so you need to
set up correct routing tables. You have two choices here:
- configure every rc.S for every machine by hand
- use a bootp client package and write a generalized setup script
