Subject: Re: [parisc-linux] Booting the kernelThis reminds me, does anyone have a working rbootd which runs on anything other than HP-UX? If we turn all our HPs into Linux boxes it would be nice to still be able to boot them. Of course looking at the rboot packets on the wire shows that they are not anything I recognise...
There is an rboot daemon that comes with all the BSDs and I believe the same daemon will work on Linux as well. There were some endian problems once, but I think they were all solved so it should work on x86 boxes. It requires BPF.

I fixed up rbootd to run on Linux awhile ago... you should be able to find it on ftp://puffin.external.hp.com.
