- I have two systems. The system that has the CDROM drive is
- rna.stanford.edu, which is a SPARCstation SLC, running 4.1.3,
- with IP address of 36.96.0.237. The target system that I want
- to upgrade is dna.stanford.edu, which is a SUN 4/110, running
- 4.1.1, with IP address of 36.96.0.13.
-
- rna is the NIS master; dna is an NIS client of rna.
- I have 39 Meg free in /export/swap and 9 Meg free in
- /export/root.
-
- I have followed the instructions in Appendix C of Installing
- the SUN OS:
-
- on the mediahost:
-
- su
- # cd /usr/etc/install
- # add_client -a sun4 dna.stanford.edu
-
- which seemed to go ok.
-
- # mount -rt hsfs /dev/sr0 /usr/etc/install/tar
- # cd /usr/etc/install/tar/export/exec/kvm/sun4_sunos_4_1_3
- # cp miniroot_sun4 /export/exec/sun4/local/miniroot
-
-
- on the system I want to upgrade:
-
- > b ie(,ed) -a
- Boot: ie(0,ED,0) -a
- Using IP Address 36.96.0.13 = 2460000D
- Requesting Ethernet Address for 36.0.0.237 = 240000ED
- ^
- which is wrong | should be 96
-
- and nothing happens.
-
- I also tried
-
- > b ie(,246000ED) -a
- Boot: ie(0,246000ED,0) -a
- Using IP Address 36.96.0.13 = 2460000D
- tftp: time-out.
- Boot: load failed.
-
-
- It looks like it is using the wrong netmask.
-
- Help!
