+.Sh NAME
+.Nm diskless
+.Nd booting a system over the network
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The ability to boot a system over the network is useful for
+two kinds of systems:
+.Bl -tag -width diskless
+.It Em diskless
+a system with no attached mass storage media to boot or run from
+.Pq e.g. a network computer .
+.It Em dataless
+a system with a hard drive that only contains system and application
+software, and user data is mounted over the network from a central server.
+.El
+.Pp
+It can also be done as a temporary measure while repairing or
+re-installing file systems on a local disk.
+This capability is necessarily platform dependent because of its
+dependence on system firmware support; not all platforms supported by
+.Nx
+are capable of being network booted.
+.Pp
+The protocols used to obtain a network address
+.Pq e.g. an \&IP host address ,
+include, but are not limited to:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width BOOTP -offset indent -compact
+.It Tn RARP
+Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
+.Pq Tn ARP
+.It Tn DHCP
+Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
+.It Tn BOOTP
+Bootstrap Protocol
+.El
+.Pp
+This information can also be derived from non-volatile
+.Tn RAM
+or by a transform of a network interface
+.Pq e.g. Tn Ethernet
+.Tn MAC
+address.
+.Pp
+The protocols used to load a
+.Nx
+kernel over a network include, but are not limited to:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width TFTP -offset indent -compact
+.It Tn TFTP
+Trivial File Transfer Protocol
+.It Tn NFS
+.Tn Sun
+Network File System
+.It Tn RMP
+.Tn \&HP
+Remote Maintenance Protocol
+.It Tn MOP
+.Tn DEC
+Maintenance Operations Protocol
+.El
+.Pp
+Derivation of the filename of the secondary bootstrap program can
+be done by a transform of a network interface
+.Tn MAC
+address
+.Pq or other protocol address ,
+or provided by a server as with
+.Tn BOOTP ,
+and
+.Tn DHCP .
+How this is done is platform dependent; see
+.Xr boot 8 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Nx
+kernel doesn't care how it gets loaded and started.
+The protocols used to boot
+.Nx
+can be completely different from the ones that
+.Nx
+uses operationally, i.e. you can netboot the system using
+.Tn \&HP
+.Tn RMP
+and the
+.Nx
+kernel can use
+.Tn \&IP
+to communicate after bootstrap.
+.Pp
+There is no standard way to pass all the required information
+from a boot loader to an operating system kernel, so the
+.Nx
+kernel usually has to recapitulate the same
+.Pq or similar
+protocol exchanges over the network to obtain a network address,
+determine which servers to use, and so on.
+.Nx
+supports obtaining this information from
+.Tn RARP ,
+.Tn BOOTP ,
+.Tn DHCP ,
+and
+.Tn Sun RPC
+.Qq bootparams .
+See
+.Xr options 4
+for a list of methods that can be compiled into a
+.Nx
+kernel.
+.Pp
+.Nx
+only supports the
+.Tn Sun
+Network File System
+.Pq Tn NFS
+for mounting its root file system over a network.
+.Nx
+can use any local mass storage device for which it has a driver,
+after bootstrap, even if that device is not supported by the system's
+firmware for booting.
+.Pp
+.Sy N.B.
+.Tn DHCP
+is essentially a series of extensions to
+.Tn BOOTP ;
+the
+.Nx
+.Xr dhcpd 8
+is capable of responding to both kinds of protocol requests.
+.Pp
+In the majority of configurations, network boot servers and clients
+are attached to the same
+.Tn LAN
+so that broadcast queries from the clients can be heard by the servers.
+Unless specially configured, routers block broadcasts from propagating from
+.Tn LAN
+to
+.Tn LAN ;
+some routers can be configured to
+.Qq forward
+broadcast
+.Tn BOOTP
+packets to another
+.Tn LAN
+attached to that router, which permits a server on that remote
+.Tn LAN
+to respond to the client's broadcast query.
+.Sh OPERATION
+When booting a system over the network, there are three
+phases of interaction between client and server:
+.Pp
+.Bl -enum -compact
+.It
+The system firmware
+.Pq or stage-1 bootstrap
+loads a boot program.
+.It
+The boot program loads a
+.Nx
+kernel.
+.It
+The
+.Nx
+kernel performs an
+.Tn NFS
+mount of the root file system.
+.El
+.Pp
+Each of these phases is described in further detail below.
+.Ss 1. loading a boot program
+In phase 1, the system firmware loads a boot program.
+Firmware designs vary widely,
+so this phase is inherently machine-specific.
+Some examples:
+.Pp
+.Tn DEC
+Alpha systems use
+.Tn BOOTP
+to determine the client's
+.Tn \&IP
+address and then use
+.Tn TFTP
+to load a secondary bootstrap program from the server and filename
+specified in the
+.Tn BOOTP
+reply.
+.Tn DEC
+Alpha systems can also use
+.Tn MOP
+to load a program to run the system.
+.Pp
+.Tn Sun
+systems use
+.Tn RARP
+to determine the client's
+.Tn \&IP
+address, transform that address to a hexadecimal string to form
+the filename of the secondary boot program, and then use
+.Tn TFTP
+to download the boot program from the server that sent the
+.Tn RARP
+reply.
+.Pp
+.Tn \&HP
+300-series systems use the
+.Tn \&HP
+.Tn RMP
+to download a boot program.
+.Pp
+Typical personal computers may load a network boot program either
+from diskette or from a
+.Tn PROM
+on a Network Interface Card
+.Pq Tn NIC .
+Some
+.Tn BIOS Ns No \&es
+support booting from a network interface.
+.Ss 2. loading a kernel
+In phase 2, the secondary boot program loads a kernel.
+Operation in this phase depends on the design of the boot program.
+A secondary bootstrap program that uses
+.Tn RARP
+and
+.Tn Sun RPC BOOTPARAMS
+typically does the following:
+.Pp
+.Bl -enum -compact
+.It
+gets the client
+.Tn \&IP
+address using
+.Tn RARP .
+.It
+gets the client name and server
+.Tn \&IP
+address by broadcasting an
+.Tn RPC / BOOTPARAMS / WHOAMI
+request with the client
+.Tn \&IP
+address.
+.It
+gets the server path for this client's
+root using an
+.Tn RPC / BOOTPARAMS / GETFILE
+request with the client name.
+.It
+gets the root file handle by calling
+.Xr mountd 8
+with the server path for the client root file system.
+.It
+gets the kernel file handle by calling
+.Tn NFS
+.Fn lookup
+on the root file handle.
+.It
+loads the kernel using
+.Tn NFS
+read calls on the kernel file handle.
+.It
+transfers control to the kernel entry point.
+.El
+.Pp
+A secondary bootstrap program that uses
+.Tn BOOTP
+and/or
+.Tn DHCP
+typically does the following:
+.Pp
+.Bl -enum -compact
+.It
+query for the client's bootstrap parameters.
+The response must include the client's
+.Tn \&IP
+address, server's
+.Tn \&IP
+address, an
+.Tn NFS
+root path, and a filename to load the
+.Nx
+kernel from.
+.It
+gets the root file handle by calling
+.Xr mountd 8
+with the server path for the client root file system.
+.It
+gets the kernel file handle by calling
+.Tn NFS
+.Fn lookup
+on the root file handle.
+.It
+loads the kernel using
+.Tn NFS
+read calls on the kernel file handle.
+.It
+transfers control to the kernel entry point.
+.El
+.Ss 3. NFS mounting the root file system
+In phase 3, the kernel performs an
+.Tn NFS
+mount of the root file system.
+The kernel repeats much of the work done by the boot program
+because there is no standard way for the boot program to pass
+the information it gathered on to the kernel.
+.Pp
+In general, the GENERIC kernel
+.Xr config 1
+file for any particular architecture will specify compile-time
+options to use the same protocol used by the secondary boot program
+for that architecture.
+A
+.Nx
+kernel can be compiled to use any of
+.Tn BOOTP ,
+.Tn DHCP ,
+or
+.Tn Sun RPC BOOTPARAMS ;
+see
+.Xr options 4 .
+.Pp
+The procedure typically used by the kernel is as follows:
+.Pp
+.Bl -enum -compact
+.It
+The kernel finds a boot server using the same procedures
+as described above to determine the client's
+.Tn \&IP
+address, an
+.Tn NFS
+server, etc.
+.It
+The kernel gets the
+.Tn NFS
+file handle for root using the same procedure as described above.
+.It
+The kernel calls the
+.Tn NFS
+.Fn getattr
+function to get the last-modified time of the root
+directory, and uses it to check the system clock.
+.El
+.Sh SERVER CONFIGURATION
+Before a client can bootstrap over the network,
+its server must be configured.
+Each daemon that implements these protocols must be set up so
+that it can answer queries from the clients.
+Some of these daemons are invoked as packets come in, by
+.Xr inetd 8 ,
+and some must run independently, started from
+.Pa /etc/rc ;
+see
+.Xr rc.conf 5 .

+.Tn DHCP
+is essentially a series of extensions to
+.Tn BOOTP ;
+the
+.Nx
+.Xr dhcpd 8
+is capable of responding to both kinds of protocol requests.
+Since they both bind to the same
+.Tn UDP
+port, only one may be run on a given server.
+.Pp
+In the following examples, the client's hostname is
+.Sy myclient ;
+the server is
+.Sy myserver ,
+and the addresses are all fictional.
+In these examples
+the hostnames may be Fully Qualified Domain Names
+.Pq FQDN, e.g. Qq myclient.mydomain.com
+provided that they are used consistently.
+.Ss RARP
+For clients that use
+.Tn RARP
+to obtain their
+.Tn \&IP
+address,
+an entry must be added for each client to
+.Pa /etc/ethers
+with the client's
+.Tn Ethernet
+.Tn MAC
+address and Internet hostname:
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
+8:0:20:7:c5:c7 myclient
+.Ed
+.Pp
+This will be used by
+.Xr rarpd 8
+to reply to queries from the clients.
+There must be one entry per client system.
+.Pp
+A client system's
+.Tn Ethernet
+.Tn MAC
+address is often printed on the system case, or on a chip on its
+motherboard, or on the
+.Tn NIC .
+If not,
+.Qq sniffing
+the network with
+.Xr tcpdump 8
+when the client is powered-on should reveal its
+.Tn Ethernet
+.Tn MAC
+address.
+.Pp
+Each client system that uses
+.Tn RARP
+must have its own, unique
+.Tn \&IP
+address assigned to it.
+Assign an
+.Tn \&IP
+address for myclient in your
+.Pa /etc/hosts
+file, or in the master file for your
+.Tn DNS
+zone.
+For
+.Pa /etc/hosts
+the entry should look like:
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
+192.197.96.12 myclient
+.Ed
+.Ss DHCP/BOOTP
+The
+.Nx
+.Tn DHCP
+server
+.Xr dhcpd 8
+was developed by the Internet Software Consortium
+.Pq Lk http://www.isc.org/ "ISC" .
+.Pp
+.Tn DHCP
+can provide a wide range of information to a requesting client;
+the key data for bootstrapping a diskless client are:
+.Pp
+.Bl -enum -compact
+.It
+an
+.Tn \&IP
+address
+.It
+a subnet mask
+.It
+a
+.Tn TFTP
+server address for loading the secondary bootstrap and the
+.Nx
+kernel
+.It
+a filename of the secondary bootstrap
+.It
+an
+.Tn NFS
+server address for the client's file system
+.It
+the client's root file system path, to be
+.Tn NFS
+mounted.
+.El
+.Pp
+An example for
+.Pa /etc/dhcpd.conf
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+host myclient {
+ hardware ethernet 8:0:20:7:c5:c7;
+ fixed-address myclient; # client's assigned IP address
+ filename "myclient.netboot"; # secondary bootstrap
+ next-server myserver; # TFTP server for secondary bootstrap
+ option swap-server myserver; # NFS server for root filesystem
+ option root-path "/export/myclient/root";
+}
+.Ed
+.Pp
+That
+.Sy host
+declaration goes inside a
+.Sy subnet
+declaration, which gives parameters for all hosts on the subnet
+that will be using
+.Tn DHCP ,
+such as the
+.Qq routers
+.Pq the default route ,
+.Qq subnet-mask ,
+.Qq broadcast-address ,
+.Qq domain-name-servers ,
+etc.
+See
+.Xr dhcpd.conf 5
+for details.
+In that example,
+.Sy myclient
+has an assigned IP address.
+.Pp
+The
+.Tn DHCP
+parameters required for network bootstrapping a system will vary
+from platform to platform, as dictated by each system's firmware.
+In particular, because
+.Tn DHCP
+is extensible, some hardware vendors have specified
+.Tn DHCP
+options to return information to requesting clients that are specific
+to that platform.
+Please see your platform's
+.Xr boot 8
+for details.
+.Ss TFTP
+If booting a
+.Tn Sun
+system, or other system that expects to use
+.Tn TFTP ,
+ensure that
+.Xr inetd 8
+is configured to run
+.Xr tftpd 8 .
+The
+.Xr tftpd 8
+server should be set up to serve the directory
+.Pa /tftpboot .
+.Pp
+If booting a
+.Tn SPARC
+system, install a copy of the appropriate diskless secondary boot
+loader
+.Po
+such as
+.Pa /usr/mdec/boot
+or
+.Pa ofwboot.net
+.Pc
+in the
+.Pa /tftpboot
+directory.
+Make a link such that the boot program is
+accessible by a filename composed of the client's
+.Tn \&IP
+address in hexadecimal, a dot, and the architecture name
+.Pq all upper case .
+For example:
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
+# cd /tftpboot
+# ln -s boot C0C5600C.SUN4
+.Ed
+.Pp
+For a
+.Tn Sun-3
+or
+.Tn UltraSPARC
+system, the filename would be just C0C5600C
+.Po
+these systems' firmware does not append the architecture name
+.Pc .
+The name used is architecture dependent, it simply has to match
+what the booting client's system firmware wishes it to be.
+.Pp
+If the client's system firmware fails to fetch the expected file,
+.Xr tcpdump 8
+can be used to discover which filename the client is requesting.
+Also, examination of
+.Xr tftpd 8
+log entries
+.Po
+typically in
+.Pa /var/log/messages
+.Pc
+should show whether the server is hearing the client system, and
+what filename the client is asking for.
+.Ss HP RMP
+If booting an
+.Tn HP
+300-series system, ensure that
+.Pa /etc/rbootd.conf
+is configured properly to transfer the boot program to the client.
+An entry might look like this:
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
+08:00:09:01:23:E6 SYS_UBOOT # myclient
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The secondary bootstrap program for an
+.Tn \&HP
+300-series system
+.Pa SYS_UBOOT
+.Po
+which may be called
+.Pa uboot.lif
+before installation
+.Pc
+must be installed in the directory
+.Pa /usr/mdec/rbootd .
+.Pp
+See the
+.Xr rbootd 8
+manual page for more information.
+.Ss Sun RPC BOOTPARAMS
+Add
+.Sy myclient
+to the bootparams database in
+.Pa /etc/bootparams :
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
+myclient root=myserver:/export/myclient/root \\
+ swap=myserver:/export/myclient/root/swap \\
+ dump=myserver:/export/myclient/root/swap
+.Ed
+.Pp
+and ensure that
+.Xr rpc.bootparamd 8
+and
+.Xr rpcbind 8
+are running.
+Both
+.Sy myclient
+and
+.Sy myserver
+must have
+.Tn \&IP
+addresses in the
+.Tn DNS
+or
+.Pa /etc/hosts .
+.Ss Diskless Client File Systems
+Build the swap file for
+.Sy myclient
+on the
+.Tn NFS
+server:
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
+# cd /export/myclient/root
+# dd if=/dev/zero of=swap bs=16k count=1024
+.Ed
+.Pp
+This creates a 16 megabyte swap file.
+.Pp
+Populate
+.Sy myclient Ns No 's
+root file system on the
+.Tn NFS
+server.
+How this is done depends on the client architecture and the version
+of the
+.Nx
+distribution.
+It can be as simple as copying and modifying the server's root
+file system, or unpack a complete
+.Nx
+binary distribution for the appropriate platform.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Tn NFS
+server is going to support multiple different architectures
+.Po
+e.g.
+.Tn Alpha ,
+.Tn PowerPC ,
+.Tn SPARC ,
+.Tn MIPS
+.Pc ,
+then it is important to think carefully about how to lay out the
+.Tn NFS
+server's exported file systems, to share what can be shared
+.Pq e.g. text files, configuration files, user home directories ,
+and separate that which is distinct to each architecture
+.Pq e.g. binary executables, libraries .
+.Ss NFS
+Export the client-populated file systems on the
+.Tn NFS
+server in
+.Pa /etc/exports :
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
+/usr -ro myclient
+# for SunOS:
+# /export/myclient -rw=myclient,root=myclient
+# for NetBSD:
+/export/myclient -maproot=root -alldirs myclient
+.Ed
+.Pp
+If the server and client are of the same architecture, then the client
+can share the server's
+.Pa /usr
+file system
+.Pq as is done above .
+If not, you must build a properly fleshed out
+.Pa /usr
+partition for the client in some other part of the server's
+file system, to serve to the client.
+.Pp
+If your server is a
+.Tn SPARC ,
+and your client a
+.Tn Sun-3 ,
+you might create and fill
+.Pa /export/usr.sun3
+and then use the following
+.Pa /etc/exports
+lines:
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
+/export/usr.sun3 -ro myclient
+/export/myclient -rw=myclient,root=myclient
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Of course, in either case you will have to have an
+.Tn NFS
+server running on the server side.
+.Sh CLIENT CONFIGURATION
+Copy and customize at least the following files in
+.Pa /export/myclient/root :
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
+# cd /export/myclient/root/etc
+# vi fstab
+# cp /etc/hosts hosts
+# echo 'hostname="myclient"' >> rc.conf
+# echo "inet 192.197.96.12" > ifconfig.le0
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Note that "le0" above should be replaced with the name of
+the network interface that the client will use for booting;
+the network interface name is device dependent in
+.Nx .
+.Pp
+Correct the critical mount points and the swap file in the client's
+.Pa /etc/fstab
+.Po
+which will be
+.Pa /export/myclient/root/etc/fstab
+.Pc
+i.e.
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
+myserver:/export/myclient/root / nfs rw 0 0
+myserver:/usr /usr nfs rw 0 0
+/swap none swap sw 0 0
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Note, you
+.Em must
+specify the swap file in
+.Pa /etc/fstab
+or it will not be used!
+See
+.Xr swapctl 8 .
+.Pp
+It may be useful to set
+.Dq flushroutes=NO
+in
+.Pa /etc/rc.conf
+to avoid the default route supplied by the boot setup
+disappearing mid-boot.
