If somebody can just tell me that they are using it with fbsd-current, I can go through my setups again to see if I have done something wrong. I had nfs-diskless working with V2.0 in January this year and had wiped all the setups for the bootp etc when I upgraded. Last night I have been trying to get a nfs-diskless client working using FreeBSD-current, but I get a panic that it can't find init. The first part is working: The diskless machine finds the bootp server, loads the kernel, the kernel probes everything and then gives two messages roughly: SWAP 146.64.58.34:/usr/tftp/swapfs ROOT 146.64.58.34:/usr/tftp/rootfs ^^^^^^ This is where I made the root fs for the client Then there is a few exec errors while it tries to find init. All of them give error 20 (Which is ENOTDIR, but /usr/tftp/rootfs/sbin exists) Then it panics with init not found. I have traced with tcpdump and I can see where it loads the kernel, but there is no activity on the ethernet after the kernel is loaded. It looks like it isn't even trying to read /sbin/init over the net. Tips and kicks in the right direction appreciated. :) John -- John Hay -- jhay@mikom.csir.co.za
