yaboot and netboot

[Chandra Seetharaman]

Hi All,

I am trying to add support for ipv6 in yaboot. While testing found that
I have to get the ciaddr, siaddr etc., appended to the device name for
ipv6 . If I do not do that the boot path ends up being just
network_device:filename, which doesn't lead to a resolution.

While looking at the code found that the behavior is same for ipv4 also.
i.e the siaddr,ciaddr,giaddr,subnet-mask that I give when I invoke the
boot is not passed on to the next step (to get yaboot.conf).

Am I missing something ? Shouldn't yaboot be using the value I provided
for subsequent steps ?

Here is an example (with 1.3.14 and DEBUG set to 1):
-------------------------

    of_net_open - Opening: "/lhea at 23c00100/ethernet at 23e00100:,\etc\00-"
-----------------------

and it hangs there for a while and fails.

Shouldn't the dev which is passed to of_net_open have all the parameters
provided by the user ?

Can somebody clarify ?
