I use it for kernel, userland, ports and package=20 installation. Builds from nfs client side work fine, too. Some points you c= an=20 check: =20 1. On your building machine: Does /usr/obj/usr/src/lib/csu/i386-elf/crt1.o exi= st?=20 If not something went wrong with your "make buildworld". On the target machine: Are kernel and the userland you try to install in sy= nc?=20 2.=20 =46rom the FreeBSD Handbook: "All the machines in this build set need to=20 mount /usr/obj and /usr/src from the same machine, and at the same point."= =20 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/small-lan.html Are you sure both directory trees exported and mounted correctly? ie. my /etc/exports line on the nfs server looks like this: /usr/obj /usr/src /usr/ports -maproot=3D0:0 -network 192.168.123.0 -mask=20 255.255.255.0 My corresponding /etc/fstab lines on the target host: 192.168.123.10:/usr/ports /usr/ports nfs rw,-i,-s,-r=3D8192,-w=3D8192 0 0 192.168.123.10:/usr/src /usr/src nfs rw,-i,-s,-r=3D8192,-w=3D8192 0 0 192.168.123.10:/usr/obj /usr/obj nfs rw,-i,-s,-r=3D8192,-w=3D8192 0 0 3.
