<p>I basically had to change the arguments being passed into the open method of obp-tftp from <device>,<filename> to <device>,<siaddr>,<filename>,<yiaddr>,<siaddr> (the last siaddr is because I couldn't get giaddr to come back correctly from prom_get_netinfo() ). I just tried this with pre GA3 firmware on JS21, BTW, and it did work.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Oh my. Give us a boot string that illustrates the problem! JS21 is not<br>
the only pseries that has new firmware behaviour. Once the new syntax<br>
requirements are understood, you should be able to boot from a config<br>
file on the server with pre GA3 and GA3 firmware without issue.<br>
