An update on the HP/NetBSD front: and that's the only thing that's up.
The boot process requires NFS. I don't trust NFS (never have, never
bothered to install it on the home system here). Sigh. Download, install,
configure.
So I have rbootd and rarp working on Linus. Turn on the
HP. Using some network monitoring software I wrote (a near-clone of tcpdump
that outputs in a more concise mannor) I can see the HP making requests of
rbootp.
And one lone NFS packet:
IPv4 208.26.72.7 255.255.255.255 UDP 1023 111
So far no luck getting past that.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
