Bug 63940 – bootparamd doesn't take jumpstart parameters

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Steve-o 2004-09-13 14:53:34 UTC]

Typical jumpstart configurations are ignored by bootparamd, example file:

/etc/bootparams:
jsclient        root=tape:/tmp/js/sol10/install/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot \
                install=tape:/tmp/js/sol10/install \
                boottype=:in \
                sysid_config=tape:/tmp/js/sol10/install/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot/etc \
                install_config=tape:/tmp/js/sol10/config \
                rootopts=:rsize=32768,wsize=32768


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Copy above configuration into /etc/bootparams
2.  Build callbootd tool from netkit-bootpd
3.  Run callbootd to check for rootopts

Actual Results:  
# ./callbootd afs1 jsclient rootopts
getfile returning:
Null answer!!!
Bad answer returned from server afs1


Expected Results:  
# ./callbootd afs1 jsclient rootopts
getfile returning:
server_name:
server_address: 0.0.0.0
path:   rsize=32768,wsize=32768
