I'm trying to boot diskless my notebook.
I create boot floppy disk on which i place
kernel.gz
boot/loader
boot/loader.rc
boot/device.hints
(it's just modified kern.flp from 5.1-RELEASE distro with
my own kernel)
Kernel on that disk built with options
options NFSCLIENT
options NFS_ROOT
and
device cbb
device pccard
device cardbus
device miibus
device rl
In /boot/loader.rc i place lines:
set boot.netif.ip="172.16.0.9"
set boot.netif.netmask="255.255.255.192"
set boot.netif.gateway="172.16.0.1"
set boot.netif.hwaddr="00:a0:0c:90:90:06"
set boot.nfsroot.server="172.16.0.8"
set boot.nfsroot.path="/backup/nfsroot"
set boot.nfsroot.nfshandle="01"
Kernel loads from that floppy, it's starts. But shows next error:
...
Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec
nfs_diskless: no interface
rl0: <Realtek 8139 10/100BaseTX CardBus> port 0x1000-0x10ff mem 0x88002000-0x880021ff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus1
...
So, it looks like NFSCLIENT tryes to detect boot interface before
cardbus Realtek-based pccard is initialised.
What can i do, for normal disskless booting?
P.S.
I build kernel and with BOOTP, BOOTP_NFSROOT, but kernel goes
in panic, when don't find network interface.
