Hi Joshua,

Have you tried 64K PAGE_SIZE by chance? I use that
setting on all of my SGI
systems except for the IP27, which has a peculiar Oops crop up under 64K, so
that machine boots 16K PAGE_SIZE at the moment. You actually get a nice
performance bump on 16K or 64K versus the standard 4K. The testing netboot
image I ran on my IP27 w/ 16K showed no ill effects, but I still need to do 64K
on the O2 and Octane.
I have not tested 64k, but I hope it will work fine. I will check as
soon as I get my O2 netbooting.
It seems I am too stupid to get the machine netbooted.
I tried dnsmasq (dhcp,tftp included) and dhcpd/atftpd combination.
No success so far. I have running a small Linux on my Solidrun
cubox-i as bootserver for my other machines, which normally just
works fine.
Could you share your bootserver details and the command you are
using to boot a system?
For better experience I just want to boot OpenBSD bsd.rd.IP32 file
to see that my bootserver works. Afterwards I want to try my
cross-compiled kernel.
I have netbooted so many machines, even old classic unix hardware,
(with mopd, rarpd, bootparamd, ...) feeling stupid right now.
Any hints?
