I am in the process of creating a diskless boot How-To for FreeBSD to
show how to boot other *BSD OS's from FreeBSD.
I am trying to diskless boot a Sun4C with OpenBSD from my FreeBSD box.
However, when it goes to nfs mount the file system, it repeatedly gives
me errors:
RPC timeout from server 0xd298823c1 (not real number)
I contacted the OpenBSD people and they responded with the message
below.
Yet, I am able to boot NetBSD, and a X.kernel from this same setup.
And it is the /root directory that is having trouble, not the swap file.
I've also started 'mountd -r' to attempt what Theo suggested.
Any ideas on how to get this working?
Patrick

The FreeBSD mount daemon is broken. It requires a special option to
serve files as well as directories. Read up on theirs for this
special option, and while you're at it, send them some mail saying
that they should fix that, since it's stupid, and just causes people
like you extra hastle.
