Netbootable image for HP-UX (9)

[Christoph Plattner]

I want to netboot my server E55 server (9000/856) via bootp. With the PA-RISC linux, this is no problem using the PALO (linux loader).
I can netboot the uxbootfl file via bootp/tftp but how can I load the kernel. With
hpux lan1(60/6.0;0)hp-ux
nothing happens. What have I to define on the HP machine, what on the server (where must be the file it can be find).
Is there a possibility to make one image including the boot loader (ISL) and the kernel.
What have I to do with the config for hp-ux, so that I am able to use NFSROOT ?

I hope anybody can help me.

Please also contact me per email, see below.

With friendly regards

The E-series systems are not capable of booting across the network. You need to have the OS loaded and running to allow connection to network and then download.

Is this really a point of the E-serie. Under Linux it is possible to create a LIFIMAGE including the loader and the kernel. (The problem is that Linux does not support all interfaces, and so I cannot use Linux, but I can boot the kernel ! via net !).
So I thought it is possible to create a LIFIMAGE including ISL and kernel !!

And is the ISL command
hpux lan2(60/6.0;0)hp-ux
not working ?
Or have I to change syntax ?
