Hi,

Wondering if there is someone that can help me with setting up Diskless
?

I have got a far as booting the kernel, dhcp gets address, root-path,
swap-path and swap-size, then.

Adjusted interface xl0
Shutdown interface faith0
Mounted root from nfs:
NFS ROOT: 192.168.1.2:/pxeroot
NFS SWAP: 192.168.1.2:/netswapvolume/netswap/

And then the system hangs indefinitely (I assume while doing something
with /sbin/init)

Two other quick questions

1) does diskless work in 5.1 
2) can pcmcia be used for diskless (I don't think the card is recognized
in time for boot)

Thanks in advance !

.Andrew
