Subject: Using FreeBSD as fileserver for diskless Sun3??
Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk

I'm trying to configure a couple of old Sun3s (a 3/60 and a 3/80) for
use as Xterminals booting diskless from my primary FreeBSD file server.

I've gotten to the point where the kernel has been successfully loaded
and the sun is trying to mount it's swapspace from the server. At this point
a get the message:

mount swapfile server:/export/swap/Xkernel failed, rpc status 2

Now, before I pull out my hair and reverse engineer all of NFS I was
wondering if somebody has already done this and can give me some pointers.

At first glance it appears that mountd on FreeBSD is unhappy that the sun is
trying to mount something that is not a directory.

System info:
Sun 3/60, 8Mb diskless config'ed with minimal kernel.
FreeBSD is a 16Mb 66Mhz 486 running 2.0-950412-SNAP.

Thanks for any help...
