bug in bootpd for FBSD-stable ?

[Rob Lahaye]

Hi,

I'm using bootpd, to boot diskless PC.

According to handbook and many other resources, adding swap to a diskless PC
can work with T128 and T129 options in /etc/bootptab file.

So that's what I tried:

-----------------------------------------------
.default:\
         hn:ht=1:vm=rfc1048:\
         sm=255.255.255.0:\
         sa=147.46.44.181:\
         gw=147.46.44.1:\
         hd="":\
         bf="kernel":\
         T128="147.46.44.181:/home":\
         T129=64000:\
         rp="147.46.44.181:/tftpboot":

diskless:\
         ha=0050fce9306f:\
         tc=.default:
-----------------------------------------------

But then I get in /var/log/messages this line:

Feb  6 20:06:45 cisr bootpd[842]: in entry named ".default", symbol "T128": bad syntax
Feb  6 20:06:45 cisr bootpd[842]: can't find tc=".default"


Why is this well-documented feature not working for bootpd on FreeBSD-stable?

Regards,
Rob.
