Netboot tips and tricks

On some machine in the network

  • Run a rarp server
  • Put this line in /etc/ethers (MAC address of Ultra 1 and a free ip address in our range)

8:0:20:82:ca:1a 192.168.1.200

  • Put a line in /etc/hosts with hostname/ip

On the TFTP server

  • Download boot.img from Debian (Debian 6 works for this machine, Debian 7 doesn't)
  • Check /var/log/daemon.log for the filename requested by our Ultra 1
  • Rename boot.img or make a symlink

Now the installer should start
