McGovern) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: For netboot experts Date: 28 May 1995 19:19:21 GMT Organization: Channel 1 Communications Lines: 17 Message-ID: <3qaibp$g7@news1.channel1.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: mcgovern.channel1.com I'm currently working on using netboot.com on a Dos 6.2 machine. It has a 3C503 card in it (settings are 0x280, 0xD800, 5) so that it will be the "default" for FreeBSD. Unfortunately, when I compile netboot.com, copy it down, and try to run it, all the machine does is repeatedly beep at me until I reboot. If I run netboot after my normal network software is installed, it promptly starts doing print screens... over and over and over... I see not network traffic, so I assume its not even getting to the point of looking for a bootp server. Below is the Makefile I'm using (at least, the most recent one that doesnt work). I've also tried the "stock one" (you'll see a few things commented out and/or changed, such as the port of the card. The original did exactly the same thing, so I'm assuming its something else. If some kind soul could mail me a few things to try, I'd appreciate it. -Brian
