I'm trying to boot a u-Explorer on Ethernet and am having
problems. Very simply, when I boot having the Built-in
Appletalk option in the Control Panel, all is well. But when I
try booting with the Ethertalk option on, the machine simply
doesn't know where to get it's namespace files from, even though
they are on a local volume. And as a result, is not able to load
up its file system.
I initially thought that it picks up the local file server info
from its BOOT namespace which may be disk-saved on to its load
band. But after making the necessary changes and doing a
disk-save it didn't seem to solve the problem and it keeps
giving me a WAIT NFS msg. in the wholine and comes back with a
pop up window which tells me to choose one of 6 options
(changing its name, contact another nameserver, create a new
namespace etc.).
The reason I need to boot off Ethertalk is that I'm running a
separate (C) application which communicates with an IBM
mainframe. Instead of using Appletalk, I'd like to switch to
Ethertalk and get faster downloads.
Can anybody out there help ?
