1. I have set up the client machine
2. I have created a mksysb spot of the client machine
3. I have performed a network install of the base OS on the client machine

My problem is with doing a mksysb install. After the following output the boot hangs.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Please correct me if i'm wrong. My servers are not in the same subnet so the nim master doesn't recieve the bootp request?

Hello,

The bootp request suceed... you get the kernel image :
FILE: /tftpboot/AIXBlade.methnet.org
FINAL Packet Count = 22598
FINAL File Size = 11569664 bytes.
load-base=0x4000

Your client cannot connect your nim server.
You should check your nim configuration.
Check your nim installation routes and the default gateway.

Regards.
