 Posted: Mon Sep 29, 2003 8:19 pm Post subject: Netra X1 console install HOWTO |
 |
|
Here is just my install note on headless,cdrom-less netra x1 (550 US II, 256MB, IDE) and dmfe net NICs not found on the standard Debian tftp images so hope this helps someone.
Since this has no cdrom drive you have to netboot, which means you have to have an other box serving as rarpd/bootp or dhcp server, I am using dhcp server.
| Code: |
#netbooting X1 from serial console
#Software needed on the DHCP server
emerge tftp-hpa
emerge net-misc/dhcp
#an ftp/http server
#image needed
wget http://auric.debian.org/~bcollins/disks-sparc/current/sparc64/tftpboot.img
#stage needed (I am using stage1 here)
ftp://ftp.skynet.be/mirror/gentoo/releases/1.4_rc4/sparc/sparc64/stage1-sparc64-
1.4_rc4.tar.bz2
bzip2 -cd stage1-sparc64-1.4_rc4.tar.bz2 |gzip -c9 > stage1-sparc64-1.4_rc4.tar.gz
#put the stage1-sparc64-1.4_rc4.tar.gz in http/ftp accessible place
# On the DHCP server
mkdir /tftpboot
cp <PATH>/tftpboot.img /tftpboot/
/etc/init.d/in.tftpd start
cd /etc/dhcp
cp dhcpd.conf.sample dhcpd.conf
vi dhcpd.conf (please read the docs of dhcp)
example:
--------------cut----------------
option domain-name "example.com";
option domain-name-servers ns1.example.com;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
server-name "servername";
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.253;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
}
host clientname {
filename "/tftpboot/tftpboot.img";
server-name "servername";
next-server servername;
hardware ethernet 01:23:45:67:89:AB;
fixed-address 192.168.1.90;
}

/etc/init.d/dhcp start
