ndbootd
NDBOOTD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NDBOOTD(8)
NAME
ndbootd -- Sun Network Disk (ND) Protocol server
SYNOPSIS
ndbootd [-s boot2] [-i interface] [-w windowsize] [-d] boot1
DESCRIPTION
ndbootd is a server which supports the Sun Network Disk (ND) Protocol. This protocol was designed by Sun before they designed NFS. ND sim-
ply makes the raw blocks of a disk available to network clients. Contrast this with the true namespace and file abstractions that NFS pro-
vides.
The only reason you're likely to encounter ND nowadays is if you have an old Sun 2 machine, like the 2/120 or 2/50. The Sun 2 PROMs can only
use ND to boot over the network. (Later, the Sun 3 PROMs would use RARP and TFTP to boot over the network.)
ndbootd is a very simple ND server that only supports client reads for booting. It exports a disk that the clients consider to be /dev/ndp0
(ND public unit zero). The disk is available only to clients that are listed in /etc/ethers and have valid hostnames. (Sun 2 PROMs don't do
RARP, but they do learn their IP address from the first ND response they receive from the server.)
boot1 is a file containing the mandatory first-stage network boot program, typically /usr/mdec/bootyy. The layout of the exported disk is:
o block 0: normally a Sun disklabel (but ignored by the PROM)
o blocks 1-15: the first-stage network boot program
With the -s boot2 option, ndbootd will also make a second-stage network boot program available to clients, typically /usr/mdec/netboot. When
boot2 is a filename, that file is the single second-stage network boot program to be served to all clients.
When boot2 is a directory name, typically /tftpboot, ndbootd finds a client's second-stage network boot program by turning its IP address
into a filename in that directory, in the same manner later Sun 3 PROMs do when TFTPing (i.e., if a client has IP address 192.168.1.10,
ndbootd expects to find /tftpboot/C0A8010A.SUN2 ).
When used in this last manner with an ND-aware first-stage boot program, ndbootd serves the same purpose in the Sun 2 netboot process as
tftpd(8) serves in the Sun 3 netboot process.
Any second-stage network boot program always begins at block 16 of the exported disk, regardless of the length of the first-stage network
boot program.
All first- and second-stage network boot programs must have all executable headers stripped off; they must be raw binary programs.
The remaining options are:
-i interface
Only listen for ND clients on interface interface. Normally ndbootd listens for clients on the first non-loopback IP interface
that is up and running.
-w windowsize
This adjusts the window size of the ND protocol. This is the number of 1-kilobyte packets that can be transmitted before waiting
for an acknowledgement. Defaults to 6.
-d Run in debug mode. Debugging output goes to standard error and the server will not fork.
FILES
/etc/ethers
/etc/hosts
SEE ALSO
tftpd(8)
BUGS
Whether or not there is a second-stage network boot program, the exported disk appears to all clients to have infinite length. The content
of all blocks not used by the first- or second-stage network boot programs is undefined. All client reads of undefined blocks are silently
allowed by the server.
