I have a sparc64 Netra X1 tftploading the loader, kernel, and modules. = My intent is to netboot it to install into a ZFS pool onto it's discs (It has no = optical drive, and no ability to boot from USB). As I noted to freebsd-sparc64, even when I set=20 = vfs.root.mountfrom=3D"nfs:206.138.151.36:/data/nfs-exports/sparc64-freebsd= 9" in my /boot/loader.conf on the tftp server, The only result I get is = the issue above, where it seems to be looking at [], and failing with error 19.
