well..i've been working on netboot for a few days now, and i've been making little bursts of progress every now and then. right now, i'm stuck. what i'm trying to do is boot a diskless box (192.168.0.4) that will eventually act as a NAT/gateway/firewall. i have my server (192.168.0.3) setup right as far as i can tell. netboot loads its configuration fine, loads the kernel fine, and boots the kernel fine. when the kernel boots and tries to mount /, however, it gets an nfs error (13,) which i think means access denied. this makes no sense seeing as netboot is able to use nfs to transfer the kernel. here is a log of what happens: A:\>nb8390 BOOTP/TFTP/NFS bootstrap loader ESC for menu Search for adapter...Looking for NE1000/NE2000 at 0x0300 NE1000/NE2000 (16 bit) base 0x03000, addr 00:00:21:4A:2D:37 Searching for server...

NFS ROOT: 192.168.0.3:/usr/diskless-root nfs send error 13 for server 192.168.0.3:/usr/diskless-root the only thing that i can think of is that since netboot has already mounted the root filesystem, the server might not like it trying to mount the root fs again. assuming that was the problem, i'd have no idea how to fix it. if *anyone* could give me *any* help, i'd greatly appreciate it. in case it helps, i'll include all the relevant configuration files. the server is fbsd 3.4-STABLE. /etc/bootptab: hades:\ :ht=ether:\ :ha=0000214a2d37:\ :sm=255.255.255.0:\ :hn:\ :ds=192.168.0.3:\ :ip=192.168.0.4:\ :vm=rfc1048: /etc/exports: /usr -maproot=0:0 -alldirs 192.168.0.4 /tftpboot/freebsd.192.168.0.4: ip 192.168.0.4 hostname hades netmask 255.255.255.0 server 192.168.0.3 rootfs /usr/diskless-root thank you for even *reading* this post. if you need to contact me, my email address is jacob@void.mapopolis.com. if you respond to this, please email me the response, because i'm apt to miss it otherwise. -jacob kuenzel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
