Help,
=20
(posted before to Aurora Sparc Users but have gotten no response)
=20
I'm trying to install Aurora Linux 2.99 on my SPARC Ultra2.
=20
I've set up RARP and TFTP on a Fedora Linux System (x86_64 Version 6) =
which
I know are working fine normally.
=20
I can see the RARP request in wireshark as well as the TFTP request =
coming
to the server. However the next thing I see is an ARP request from the
server on the IP address of the SPAR system trying to boot. This ARP =
request
is never answered.
=20
Any idea what I am missing?
=20
Thank you,
Reiner
