When we try to reboot a diskless Sun, the Iris responds to the request and tries to boot it. Needless to say, this doesn't work, and the Sun gets very confused. The Iris in question (uno.cs.mu.oz.au) _is_ a server for another diskless Iris (due.cs.mu.oz.au), but I can't find a way to get uno to only boot due (which is want (I think) I want). I've tried ftping sgi.com:sgi/src/rpc.bootparamd.Z and installing that, but it doesn't seem to have helped. Uno's /etc/bootparams only has due listed, and /usr/etc/bootptab only has due after the "%%". Apologies if this is a well-known question, but I've only started reading comp.sys.sgi recently (I seem to remember seeing something about it in comp.sys.sun some time ago, though). -- David Keegel (djk@cs.mu.OZ.AU) Arthur: "What's so unpleasant about being drunk?"
