hi, i am tying to get a IIgs to netboot from a g3 mac and have hit
kind of a snag.
first off, i have a vanilla rom3 gs w/ 2 meg ram. i have os9.1 on the
mac and gs/os
on 3.5 floppies. the g3's appletalk connection is set to printer port,
and the gs's
slot 1 and slot 7 are set to appletalk. they are connected together as such.
i made the 'network 3.5 disk' on the gs, setup the appletalk network
between the
two to automatically login to the mac, and installed gs/os onto the
mac's startup volume.
the closest i can get this to work is to boot the gs from the 'network
3.5 disk'. i then get
a launcher window, select disk until the macintosh volume appears,
then i can 'run'
the finder from the mac. the finder loads on the gs with the mac
volume mounted, so i am
reasonably confident that the connection is working.
that's as far as i got. if i set the gs startup to appletalk, the gs
stays at the boot screen,
times out and starts from a floppy. a google search indicated that i
need 'appletalk
file server 3.0', but i haven't been able to locate this.
anyone have any ideas?
thanks,
-matt
