Re: [K12OSN] Help!!!

One thing to try is specifying in the /etc/dchpd.conf. , the mac and assign a WSxxx number
(host ws010 {
        hardware ethernet     00:60:08:3e:3a:34;
        fixed-address         192.168.0.010;
 and then setup the lts.conf file with the appropriate WSxxx number and this command:
[ws010]
    RCFILE_01 = floppyd

Mine just happens to be ws010
Hope this helps.

Ok I have the server up and running almost.  Can’t get the Mtools fm to work.  I keep getting “Can’t connect to floppyd server on local host port 5703 – can’t initialize A.

I have mount the A drive and am able to copy the Ethernet bootrom I need to my floppy.  Let me see if I’m thinking right. 

 

I need the bootrom for the clients Ethernet card?  -Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 –bootrom 82559?

Will the client boot automatically from the floppy?  I have the boot sequence correct although since it’s diskless do I need to do this?

What use is the floppyd server?

 

Thanks
