Booting Ignite from alternate LAN adaptor

I want to be able boot my client from an Ignite Server using an adaptor other than my primary adaptor. I would like to use my FDDI adaptor if that is possible but I could use a second ethernet card. i.e.

bo 8/16/6 -> this works since it is my internal adaptor.

bo /8/20/5/1 -> this gives me an error telling me its not a boot path

Any ideas or work-arounds would be appreciated.

Add more IP addresses to /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab.
Check to see if rbootd daemon is running.

Rob:

it looks like the problem is right at the IPL in which case the /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab will not help you.

Try doing a

> search

to search for bootable devices/paths at the IPL. I suspect that your second adaptor is not supported as a boot device - you might want to get a card similar to your internal LAN card.

good luck
nothing wrong with me that a few lines of code cannot fix!
