O2 remote install from linux - nikbrown - 03-20-2020

Hello I've got an O2 that cant find /boot so I've been trying to get a remote install going on it.
I've been following the instruction set I found here:
http://techpubs.spinlocksolutions.com/irix/remote-irix-6.5-installation-from-linux.html

I've got all my irix 6.5.30 stuff sitting on a RasberryPi. I think I've got it setup. I've purged all the iptables rules.... but for some reason I always get a message of "Unable to execute bootp():i/30/ovl1/stand/sash64: could not connect to server".

You all have any ideas where I should look next?


When I tail my logs on my Pi this is the result:
sudo tail -f /var/log/*log -n0

I've got the older install instruction setup on my raspi, will have a look tonight.

Sorry, the spinlocks instructions are very different to my install setup where I followed his old setup.
