etherboot version: 5.2.4
Hi,
The instructions for creating bootup floppy for
diskless PCs in ports/net/etherboot/pkg-descr
is very wrong.
The files "boot1a.bin" "<device>.zrom" do not even exist!
Instead the following procedure worked for me:
# cd /usr/ports/net/etherboot
# make patch
# cd work/etherboot-5.2.4/src
# gmake bin/<device>.dsk
# dd if=bin/<device>.dsk of=/dev/fd0c bs=512 conv=sync
I do not understand why I have to use 'gmake' instead
of the normal 'make' at line 4; 'make' ends here with
an error:
"Makefile", line 6: Could not find arch//Config
"Makefile.main", line 212: Could not find arch//Makefile
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
The list for <device> names can be seen by doing:
# ( cd drivers/net ; ls *.c | sed 's/\.c//' )
With etherboot 5.2.4, the list is:
3c509 eepro pcnet32
3c515 eepro100 prism2 smc9000
3c595 epic100 prism2_pci sundance
3c90x forcedeth prism2_plx tg3
cs89x0 lance r8169 tlan
davicom natsemi rtl8139 tulip
depca ns83820 sis900 via-rhine
e1000 ns8390 sk_g16 w89c840
Could somebody please fix this?
Regards,
Rob.
