Hi,

I am currently trying to configure my x86 machine as a jumpstart server,
when running the ./add_install_client command I have seen examples of the
output as

Adding Ethernet number for client.intra-connect.net to /etc/ethers
making /tftpboot
enabling tftp in /etc/inetd.conf
starting rarpd
starting bootparamd
updating /etc/bootparams
copying inetboot to /tftpboot
how mine looks like

jumpstart> ./add_install_client \
-e 8:0:20:a8:d4:22 \
-s jumpstart:/export/install/s9x_0904 \
-c jumpstart:/export/install/jumpstart \
-p jumpstart:/export/install/jumpstart \
client \
i86pc
Adding Ethernet number for client.intra-connect.net to /etc/ethers
making /tftpboot
updating /etc/bootparams

My concern is that in the tftp directory there are no files, what am I doing
wrong ? I guess its something to do with the line "copying inetboot to
/tftpboot"

Regards

Paul

Thanks for your reply bruce.

I have things working alot better, the rules, profile and sysidcfg files are
all filled in nearly 100% correctly, the only thing is I'm still prompted
about manually ejecting cd/dvd and agreeing to the licenses agreement.

any clues anyone ?

Thanks

Paul
