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
