I've read, and reread, Mike's application notes. Obviously, I'm missing something here. Can someone point out my error? What I really want to do is get a kernel to this machine. mount shows: /dev/sd0s1a on / (NFS exported, local, writes: sync 55568 async 78717)) /dev/sd0s1f on /usr (NFS exported, local, writes: sync 279374 async 261826)) /dev/sd1f on /diskless/swapfiles (asynchronous, NFS exported, local, writes: sync 14 async 1)) /etc/exports shows: /diskless/root -maproot=0 -network 208.2.87.0 -mask 255.255.255.224 /usr -maproot=0 -ro -network 208.2.87.0 -mask 255.255.255.224 /diskless/swapfiles -alldirs -maproot=0 -network 208.2.87.0 -mask 255.255.255.224 ps shows: root 19881 0.0 0.5 468 336 ??

It is assigned IP = 208.2.87.13. It fetches (tftp) this configuration: rootfs 208.2.87.3:/diskless/root swapfs 208.2.87.3:/diskless/swapfiles swapsize 1000 flags scv The configuration parameters shown on its screen match what I intended. Then it proceeds to read the kernel. At the end of that, it stops with "Unable to open swap.208.2.87.13: Not owner" (NB: If I remove the swap. 208.2.87.13 file, I get a different message - (not found).
