Diskless Sun 4/20 (aka SLC) won't boot

[Dan Ehrlich]

I am trying to get a new SPARCstation SLC to boot from it's server.  The
boot never happens because the RARP protocol fails for some reason.  Here
is what I enter on the workstation:

ok boot le() -a
Booting from: le(0,0,0) -a
Got error packet: Error code 1 Message: File not foundreceive failed
Boot load failed

This is what happens when I run rarpd in debug mode on the interface that
the client is on:

Script started on Thu Jun 14 14:46:14 1990
colossus# rarpd -d ie2 colossus-ie2
rarpd: in debug mode
rarpd: starting rarp service on interface ie2, address 128.118.12.2
rarpd: RARP_REQUEST for 8:0:20:2:85:98
rarpd: good lookup, maps to 128.118.12.254
rarpd: delayed reply sent.
^C
colossus# ^D
script done on Thu Jun 14 14:46:59 1990

Here are the particulars on the server and the client:

Colossus: Sun 4/490			Setup: 4/20
	  SunOS 4.1			       (Hope to be SunOS 4.1)
	  128.118.12.2			       128.118.12.254
	  8:0:20:8:fc:81		       8:0:20:2:85:98

Ethers is served from NIS:

colossus:2> ypmatch 8:0:20:2:85:98 ethers.byaddr
8:0:20:2:85:98	setup.cs.psu.edu
colossus:3> ypmatch setup hosts
128.118.12.254	setup.cs.psu.edu

I would appreciate hear (via e-mail if possible) from anyone who can tell
me whats wrong here.  There are other clients on this server on the same
coax and they work just fine.
