Hi, I am not a complete newbie to Linux or FreeBSD. I would like to install my fresh new copy of FreeBSD 3.4 onto a computer which has not cdrom but does have a compatible NIC on a small LAN. I have been trying to export the cdrom drive from the Linux machine so as to perform a NFS install of FreeBSD. Neither the FreeBSD Handbook nor much Linux documentation is helping. I guess I cannot read between the lines :-( Here's what I did. 1\ Setup the Linux machine as a NFS Server 2\ exported the cdrom via a line in the /etc/exports file (/cdrom *(ro) *(ro) ) 3\ restarted the NFS Daemon and check to make sure its alive 4\ Made the 2 install disks for FreeBSD they work! Now I have no DNS setup yet because I wanted the FreeBSD to be the DNS server. When asked for the NFS server during the install I simply typed " ip-address:/cdrom " and figured this should work. My network does work and does not exhibit and irregularities. Any ideas of how to check to see if I got a login failure or what I am doing wrong would be appreciated. If this is the wrong place for this message then I dearly apologize forthright.
