Hi, I'm attempting to run a diskless 8.0 i386 workstation on VMWare, using an OpenSolaris box as a file store. I get PXE, the kernel loads, but when we try to remount the filesystem I get: ... NFS ROOT: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:/storage1/vm/netflow Lookup of /dev for devfs, error 13 exec /sbin/init: error 13 exec /sbin/oinit: error 13 exec /sbin/init.bak: error 13 exec /rescue/inet: error 13 exec /stand/sysinstall: error 13 init: not found in path ... At first glance, it would appear that /dev is missing. I've never seen this happen before diskless systems, though, and I can't find any other references to this. I know that other people have PXE-booted FreeBSD on VMWare, however. Anyone have any suggestions on what to check? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.
