In the last episode, I asked if there was anything I should know... Basically, I was able to figure out the procedure from the archives: they *are* dated, but still close enough to figure out most of what's going on. - Almost - :) The boot program finds it's kernel, and starts it up. Then the normal probings go on for a little while, and then comes the panic... Just after probing the npx: panic: nfs_mountroot: SIOCAIFADDR: 6 Since this is obviously pointing at something having to do with the area being specified as the workstation's root partition, I checked that the area is in fact mountable (RW at present) from another machine. At this point though, I am outta my league, and lost... All help appreciated! (Only 11 more to go ;-) J.A.
