On -&debian;, you can run <userinput>update-inetd --enable -bootps</userinput>, then <userinput>/etc/init.d/inetd -reload</userinput> to do so. Elsewhere, the line in question should -look like: - -<informalexample><screen> - -bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/bootpd bootpd -i -t 120 - -</screen></informalexample> - -</para><para> - -Now, you must create an <filename>/etc/bootptab</filename> file. This -has the same sort of familiar and cryptic format as the good old BSD -<filename>printcap</filename>, <filename>termcap</filename>, and -<filename>disktab</filename> files. See the -<filename>bootptab</filename> manual page for more information. For -CMU <command>bootpd</command>, you will need to know the hardware -(MAC) address of the client. Here is an example -<filename>/etc/bootptab</filename>: - -<informalexample><screen> - -client:\ - hd=/tftpboot:\ - bf=tftpboot.img:\ - ip=192.168.1.90:\ - sm=255.255.255.0:\ - sa=192.168.1.1:\ - ha=0123456789AB: - -</screen></informalexample> - -You will need to change at least the "ha" option, which specifies the -hardware address of the client. The "bf" option specifies the file a -client should retrieve via TFTP; see -<xref linkend="tftp-images"/> for more details. - -<phrase arch="mips"> -On SGI Indys you can just enter the command monitor and type -<userinput>printenv</userinput>.

Some architectures require a complex -configuration for booting clients via BOOTP. If yours is one of -those, read the section <xref linkend="dhcpd"/>. Otherwise, you -will probably be able to get away with simply adding the -<userinput>allow bootp</userinput> directive to the configuration -block for the subnet containing the client, and restart -<command>dhcpd</command> with <userinput>/etc/init.d/dhcpd -restart</userinput>. - -</para> - </sect2> |
