Sun Sparc 20 Jumpstart install :(
Hello,
I'm having all kinds of trouble jumpstarting some SS20's.
After hunting around the newsgroups I find that this seems to be a fairly common problem with no real answer.
Here's a brief:
SS20, 50mhz, 256mb blah blah. - Client
E250 blah blah - J/start server.
10/100bt Network.
Setup the usual j/start bits for the client and do a 'boot net - install w' on the SS20.
Then all I get is 'Lost carrier- cable probs'.
Now I know for a fact the J/start stuff works a treat as I can do U1/2/5/60's no problem all day long.
I've tried setting the link-test-tpe to false, I've tried doing a 'boot net-tpe' etc.. But it just seems to ignore the fact its on a working network.
It will boot the net device and do its 'count' then it will start the arp/rarp errors, and link down stuff.
I can snoop it and find that the SS20 picks up it 'ip' etc, and does some packet exchanges.
AND just sometimes it will give losts of above errors, but still gradually start the install. But this is not very often.
Has any old school Solaris peeps out there ever solved this one!?
Thanks
John

SUBSCRIPTIONS(5) InterNetNews Documentation SUBSCRIPTIONS(5)
NAME
subscriptions - Default recommended subscriptions
DESCRIPTION
The pathetc/subscriptions file contains a list of newsgroups that is returned by the NNTP command LIST SUBSCRIPTIONS.
Clients that support this command usually send it the first time they connect to a new news server. They use the returned list to
initialize the list of subscribed newsgroups. The subscriptions file therefore should contain groups intended for new users, for testing,
or that contain FAQs and other useful information for first-time Usenet users.
The syntax of the subscriptions file is trivial; it is a simple list of newsgroup names, one per line. The order of newsgroups may be
significant; the news reading client may present the groups in that order to the user.
EXAMPLE
A typical subscriptions file may look like:
news.announce.newusers
news.newusers.questions
local.test
local.general
local.talk
misc.test
misc.test.moderated
news.answers
news.announce.newgroups
This gives the client the FAQs and question newsgroup for new users first, then a local newsgroup for testing and various commonly-read
local discussion groups, followed by the world-wide test groups, all the FAQs, and announcements of new world-wide newsgroups. If there is
a local new users group, one might want to list it first.
