Hi,
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE on a Netra t1 105 over the
network (the machine has no CD-ROM). I've set up RARP, TFTP, DHCP and
NFS servers, and get to the point that FreeBSD is booting from the
NFS-mounted installation CD. The NFS server is Mac OS X Server 10.4.3.
It seems to expect that some things are writable when they're not,
however:
Trying to mount root from nfs:

At this point I tried logging in as root and running sysinstall, which
barfs trying to write various files or access the network.
I imagine I'm doing something wrong, but I can't see what. Any advice
would be appreciated.
Thanks,
