I finally got bootp/tftp to answer my indy's pleas for an image, but get the following behavior (with my own IP addr and server, obviously): >> boot bootp():/vmlinux 73264+592+11520+331680+27848d+3628+5792 entry: 0x8df9a960 Setting $netaddres to 192.168.1.5 (from server deadmoon) Obtaining /vmlinux from server deadmoon i get a spinning cursor, which becomes the letter "n" and the entire machine (including keyboard, mouse) locks. A packet trace with ethereal reveals the indy ack'ing 2730 packets of 512 bytes each (1,397,760) before sending a "TFTP Error Code" packet: Opcode: Error Code (5) Error Code: Disk full or allocation exceeded (3) The server's disks are not full, and my impression was that the indy would be d/ling the vmlinux image into memory, not disk. I have 64MB of RAM. I repeated the process and got the same "n"-freeze a second time. What does this behavior indicate? (I didn't see it in HOWTO common errors) How can I fix it? Thanks for your ideas, Ken
