Unfortunately, the FreeBSD variant of tftpd will not talk to the machines. THe only version of tftpd that I could get working was the version on a Sun 4.1.3-based machine. Am I doing something wrong? In SunOS, I setup a /etc/ethers file with the hardware ethernet addresses of the xterms, a /tftpboot directory with hexadecimal IP addresses as symbolic links pointing to the right boot file, a /etc/hosts database with the machines and their IP addresses, and the correct entry in /etc/inetd.conf. The xterms just SIT there. They sound out arp/rarp requests, and my FreeBSD machine WILL NOT ANSWER! Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong????? Thanks in advance.
