My installworld over nfs died trying to find crtbegin.o in the obj tree even though find finds it /usr/obj/src/usr.src/tmp/usr/lib/crtbegin.o install fails after installing the first set of Rich Winkel wrote: > I think I mistyped the last not.

In my case, the symbolic links on my install server are from the /src partition which has /src/usr.src and /src/usr.obj symlinked to /usr/src and /usr/obj respectively... By your suggestion, if I make a directory on my client /src containing symlinks /src/usr.src-->/usr/src and /src/usr.obj-->/usr/obj then make will be able to build from my client mounting -t nfs installserver:/src/usr.src /usr/src and installserver:/src/usr.obj /usr/obj? -- PLEASE NOTICE: THERE MAY BE NOSPAM IN THE HEADERS WHEN YOU HIT "REPLY"!!!
