Issue boot command from open firmware prompt

Read the redbook referenced at IBM Redbooks | The IBM eServer BladeCenter JS20

See also pSeries and AIX Information Center


These references tell you how to set up the NIM server and how to do a netboot from the open firmware prompt. But, basically, you press 8 during the count down, then issue a boot command such as (all on one line -- the line will not wrap if it exceeds window width of 80 -- maximize screen and chose small font so the entire command can be entered and seen on one line. Also, you can't copy/paste very well into the open firmware prompt -- it will drop characters).

boot /pci@8000000f8000000/pci@0/ethernet@1,1:bootp,99.99.99.100,,99.99.99.101,99.99.99.100

The example above is for en1 interface. The device is ethernet@1 for the en0 interface. In this example the gateway is not the server IP because the client IP is on another subnet.

boot /pci@8000000f8000000/pci@0/ethernet@1:bootp,99.99.99.100,,99.99.98.101,99.99.99.1


(the parameters after the bootp are server_ip,,client_ip,gateway_ip - when you are on the same LAN segment, the server and gateway can and should be the same - note the double commas after the server IP address - very important)

There is also useful information in the hardware manual part number 90P3485 located at https://www-304.ibm.com/systems/supp...cid=MIGR-54742

edit by bakunin: ahem..., methinks you have posted to the wrong thread. I have moved it here. If it was meant to even another thread please contact me.

extract_font_range(3alleg4)					  Allegro manual				       extract_font_range(3alleg4)

NAME
extract_font_range - Extracts a range of characters from a font. Allegro game programming library. SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h> FONT *extract_font_range(FONT *f, int begin, int end) DESCRIPTION
This function extracts a character range from a font and returns a new font that contains only the range of characters selected by this function. You can pass -1 for either the lower or upper bound if you want to select all characters from the start or to the end of the font. Example: FONT *myfont; FONT *capitals; FONT *fontcopy; ... /* Create a font of only capital letters */ capitals = extract_font_range(myfont, 'A', 'Z'); /* Create a copy of the font */ fontcopy = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, -1); ... destroy_font(capitals); destroy_font(fontcopy); RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it to avoid memory leaks. SEE ALSO
