[HECnet] RHESUS is (finally) up again

[Steve Davidson]

I use NetBSD for both the HECnet bridge link and MOP.

Sampsa, when you get a chance put a console cable (and terminal) on the
DS200 and power it up.   It should tell you the MAC address of the boot
host.   From there we can figure out which system is actually loading the
box.   It could be any number of systems on HECnet depending on which one
is available at the time of the boot and which ones pass MOP.   It could
even be mine... :-)

-Steve

I don't know if the DECserver 200 allows you to hook up system
consoles.
I know that my 90L+ does not. :-( One problem I see is that you
have to
boot the DECserver 200 via MOP if I remember correctly before you
can
use it.


Yes, you can use a DS200 for consoles. I used to have one doing just
that for quite a few systems.

You can mop boot it from link you know ... search for "mopd"


That should have bee Linux, not link, sorry.

... it's too early.

Yes, and netbsd too which is what I was doing till the dang thing died
on me. However, phoenix from the flames and all that ;) I'm keen to see
how much faster I can get the VT520 talking to the 90M.
