System Will Not Boot From Ethernet

Problem: Your system fails to boot from the net.

The problem could be one of the following:

• NIS maps are out-of-date.

Report the problem to your system administrator.

• Ethernet cable is not plugged in.

Plug in the ethernet cable. The system should continue with the booting process.

• Server is not responding: no carrier messages.

Report the problem to your system administrator.

• tpe-link-test is disabled.

Refer to the troubleshooting information in your system documentation. (Note: systems that do not have Twisted Pair Ethernet will not have the tpe-link-test parameter.)
