The NFS server will - typically export a shared read-only /, /usr, and /var to any number of - workstations. The shared read-only root is typically either the server's - own root or, if you are more security concious, a contrived root. - - The key issue with starting up a BOOTP kernel is that you typically want - to export read-only NFS partitions from the server, yet still be able to - customize each workstation ( or not ). - - /etc/rc.diskless1 is responsible for doing core mounts and for retargeting - /conf/ME ( part of the read-only root NFS mount ) to /conf/$IP_OF_CLIENT. - /etc/rc.conf.local and /etc/rc.local, along with other machine-specific - configuration files, are typically softlinks to /conf/ME/<filename>. - - In the BOOTP workstation /conf/$IP/rc.conf.local, you must typically - turn *OFF* most of the system option defaults in /etc/rc.conf as well - as do additional custom configuration of your environment - - The /usr/src/share/examples/diskless directory contains a typical - X session / sshd based workstation configuration. The directories - involved are HT.DISKLESS/ and 192.157.86.12/. - - Essentially, the $IP/ directory ( which rc.diskless looks for in - /conf/$IP/ ) contains all the junk. The HT.DISKLESS directory exists - to hold common elements of your custom configuration so you do not have - to repeat those elements for each workstation. The example /conf - structure included here shows how to create a working sshd setup ( so - you can sshd into the diskless workstation ), retarget xdm's pid and error - files to R+W directories if /usr is mounted read-only, and retarget - syslogd and other programs. This example is not designed to run out of - the box and some modifications are required. - - >> NOTE << HT.DISKLESS/ttys contains the typical configuration required - to bring X up at boot time. Essentially, it runs xdm in the foreground - with the appropriate arguments rather then a getty on ttyv0. You must - run xdm on ttyv0 in order to prevent xdm racing with getty on a virtual - terminal. Such a race can cause your keyboard to be directed away from - the X session, essentially making the session unusable. - - Typically you should start with a clean slate by tar-copying this example - directory to /conf and then hack on it in /conf rather then in - /usr/share/examples/diskless. - - BOOTP CLIENT SETUP - - Here is a typical kernel configuration. If you have only one ethernet - interface you do not need to wire BOOTP to a specific interface name. - BOOTP requires NFS and NFS_ROOT, and our boot scripts require MFS. If - your /tmp is *not* a softlink to /var/tmp, the scripts also require NULLFS - -# BootP -# -options BOOTP # Use BOOTP to obtain IP address/hostname -options BOOTP_NFSROOT # NFS mount root filesystem using BOOTP info -options "BOOTP_NFSV3" # Use NFS v3 to NFS mount rootoptions -options BOOTP_COMPAT # Workaround for broken bootp daemons. -#options "BOOTP_WIRED_TO=de0" - -options MFS # Memory File System -options NFS # Network Filesystem -options NFS_ROOT # Nfs can be root -options NULLFS # nullfs to map /var/tmp to /tmp - - BOOTP SERVER SETUP - - The BOOTP server must be running on the same logical LAN as the the - BOOTP client(s).
