hello I'm trying to make a diskless machine boot from a floppy disk. I've put a kernel compiled with the BOOTP and BOOTP_NFSROOT options into the floppy and set the bootpd. I've put an entry in /etc/bootptab of my bootp server containing :rp="192.168.101.2:/var/netroot": After booting, the kernel gets it's parameters from bootp, but fails to mount the root filesystem. I bet my rp values is wrong but could not find the correct systax neither in the bootpd manual page nor in the handbook. I'm using 4.1-STABLE/i386 -- Carlos A.
