When I break into the rom monitor on the sun, and type boot net, it sits and waits and then gives me messages about how its getting a timeout waiting for an arp/rarp reply. I have rarpd going, but it doesn't seem to be answering the sun's requests. When I run rarpd /dev/ed0 I get "BIOCSETIF : Device not configured" When I run rarpd -a it seems to work just fine... I'm guessing its possibly a problem with rarpd, so is there a way to tell the sun to hit my machine specifically? If anyone has a similar setup to what I want to do, please let me know :) -- http://www2.ucsc.edu/~tgs/spam.html - Why You don't spam me for FREE I hate long sigs, kill a bandwidth waster today!
