They all work well with 2.1.0-RELEASE, but cannot be installed with 2.2-960323 SNAP. I do not think that is the problem with 3Com driver or other O.S. problem since the 2.2-SNAP NFS runs OK after I installed it via ftp. A few problems in header files have been sent to bugs@freebsd.org yesterday. Therefore, I guess the problem is in the installation code. Again, I do not think this is a problem for a particular board. It is a generic problem since I have many different machines that cannot install 2.2-SNAP via NFS, but they all worked via FTP. So, here is what we can do to solve the problem. I will try to use different server for installation. The current server is Sparc-1000 + Solaris 2.4. If you can find a Sparc-1000 + Solaris 2.4, it should be able to reproduce the problem. If other servers also fail, and you could not find a Sparc-1000 to reproduce the problem, I am willing to take time to debug the installation code, but I need to know how to generate the installation code (one on the floppy). The new server testing will be done in a hour, and I will send email out by end of today. -Jin
