the exact error is:
panic: nfs_mountroot: SIOCAIFADDR: 6
then it reboots - do I need to do some special
config kernel root on 198.82.168.1:/u1/mmead/rootfs/vision
or something like that? Thanks!
BTW - I just grabbed the 3com version that was sent to hackers today and for
some reason it sees the card but cannot talk to the bootp server... :-( The
SMC cards can.
