unable to finish boot process on netwinder using 1.6 RC2

Greetings, 

I have been trying to install NetBSD 1.6 RC2 (20020830 build)on a 
netwinder. So far I've successfully (sort of) booted the machine 
using tftp and dhcpd as per the instructions found here..
http://netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/

The kernel boots up without a problem but as soon as it's done 
mounting the root fs from the nfs server (and before it gives 
me the option to choose a terminal type) it just stops and hangs. 
Here is the complete output from the boot process..
http://members.rogers.com/agill8/netbsd/dmesg_netwinder.txt

Can someone who's had success with netbsd on a netwinder please
point out what I'm doing wrong? I've read and re-read the 
netbsd diskless/netbooting docs and as far as I can tell I think 
I'm going about this the right way.

Here's output from running /usr/sbin/mountd with the -d option..
http://members.rogers.com/agill8/netbsd/mountd.txt

From that I noticed that the netwinder only seems to mount 
/export/client/root and not /export/client/{swap,usr,home}
I'm not sure why this is the case, this is what I have in my 
/export/client/root/etc/fstab file..
nfsserver:/export/client/swap   none  swap  sw,nfsmntpt=/swap
nfsserver:/export/client/root   /     nfs   rw 0 0
nfsserver:/export/client/usr    /usr  nfs   rw 0 0
nfsserver:/export/client/home   /home nfs   rw 0 0

Can you also run a tcpdump on the server, to see what the client is doing ?
tcpdump -p host 192.168.1.69

Thanks a lot for point that out Matt =)

problems with tlp0 (tulip) on Netwinder

Hi,

I finally managed to install a build of NetBSD 1.6 on my Netwinder.

Unfortunately the tlp0 interface (tulip) doesn't work as expected.

After trying to configure it with e.g.

ifconfig tlp0 192.168.24.50

I get the following error messages:


tlp0: transmit process failed to idle: state RUNNING - READING

tlp0: receive process failed to idle: state RUNNING - CHECK

tlp0: transmit process stopped

tlp0: receive process stopped

tlp0: transmit process failed to idle: state RUNNING - READING

tlp0: receive process failed to idle: state RUNNING - CHECK

tlp0: transmit process stopped

tlp0: receive process stopped

and so on...

Any ideas?

Stefan

Re: problems with tlp0 (tulip) on Netwinder

I'd recommend you try recompiling the kernel with de enabled and tlp
disabled, see if that makes it work.

if you can't recompile a kernel I probably can in the next couple of days
(note pester me or I'll forget!!!)

btw what's the dmesg output for the network card?

I just tried this. Now I get a panic during bootup:

bootup question - NetBSD on Netwinder

Hi,

perhaps a stupid question, but:

how can I avoid entering manually the name of the boot device, dump device
and file system during bootup on a Netwinder.

Can it be defined somewhere?

Stefan

You can set the root device in your kernel config file.  Change the

	config netbsd root on ? type ?

line to

	config netbsd root on <ethernetdev> type nfs

where <ethernetdev> matches whatever you want the boot device to be.

Simon.

In the config file, instead of doing

config          netbsd root on ? type ?

do

config          netbsd root on ne0 type nfs
