Thanks for the reply, but mountd is running with the -r parm. If I can give the list some more info, my /tftpboot/freebsd.x.x.x.x file looks like this: rootfs 155.238.17.1:/usr/rootfs/pc swapfs 155.238.17.1:/usr/swapfs/swap.155.238.17.2 swapsize 2048000 hostname pc.ctech.ac.za and my /etc/exports file look like this: /usr/swapfs /usr/rootfs/pc -maproot=0:0 pc.ctech.ac.za /usr/local -ro -network 155.238.17 -mask 255.255.255.0 -maproot=0:0 I still get the error: *** RPC Error: (0,0,0): Unable to mount SWAP filesystem: Permission Denied However, and this is the fun part, if I change my swap setting in the tftpboot directory from swapfs 155.238.17.1:/usr/swapfs/swap.155.238.17.2 to swapfs 155.238.17.1:/usr/swapfs it finds the kernel and boots, but then reboots itself. Any help please.
