Hello,
We have more AlphaServer 2100, and we wants to boot these machines with BOOTP
from another Alpha. Everything works fine, but when it is booted in single
user mode, I get the following error message:
Cannot determine RIS home directory on
Another problem, that the device tu0 is not initialized. The ifconfig says:
# ifconfig tu0
tu0: flags=c63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST,SIMPLEX>
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0 ipmtu 1500 P00>>>
We are using a bootp gateway, because the Alphas are not in the same subnet,
but I think, it not occur any problem.
The full console log is included in the end of the letter.
Any help is appreciated,
Istvan Pecsenyanszky
