Configuring Your System
2.3.4.1 Connecting to a Serial Port
After you modify the /etc/remote and /etc/inittab files, you can connect
to the serial port under the DIGITAL UNIX operating system using the DIGITAL
UNIX tip command. If the connection is successful, the motherboard prompt
displays, and you are ready to use the Debug Monitor load or boot commands to
download your file. For example,
% tip port_name0
EB64> load
Send File now ...
Type ~> to cause the DIGITAL UNIX tip command to send the file to the
motherboard.
2.3.4.2 Setting Up the Host System As a BOOTP Server
The bootstrap protocol (BOOTP) needs to be defined so that the commands netload
and netboot work correctly. To set up a DIGITAL UNIX system as a BOOTP server,
follow these steps:
1. Modify the /etc/inetd.conf file. This file enables both the BOOTP and
the TFTP daemons. The TFTP daemon is required by the BOOTP daemon.
a. Add the following line to specify the directories that can be accessed by the
TFTP daemon:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tftpd tftpd /directory1
/directory2
If no directory is specified, all files with public access can be accessed by the
TFTP daemon.
b. To start the BOOTP daemon, enter the following line:
bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/bootpd bootpd -d -d -d
2. If BOOTP is already running on your system, you want to stop it. To stop
BOOTP, enter the following commands:
# ps uax | grep bootpd
# kill -KILL
process_id_number
# ps uax | grep inetd
# kill -HUP
process_id_number
3. To restart BOOTP, enter the following command:
# /sbin/init q
The changes made to the /etc/inetd.conf file will now take effect.
