I don't think the problem is in nfs_mountroot.
Note that in nfs_vfsops.c:nfs_mountroot() we have:
/*
* "Mount" the swap device.
*
* On a "dataless" configuration (swap on disk) we will have:
* (swdevt[0].sw_dev != NODEV) identifying the swap device.
*/
if (bdevvp(swapdev, &swapdev_vp))
panic("nfs_mountroot: can't setup swap vp");
if (swdevt[0].sw_dev != NODEV)
return (0);
I have verified that this works on the Sun3, using "boot -a ..."
Note that the nfs_boot.c code prints some confusing messages:
root on saturn2:/home/venus/root
swap on saturn2:/home/venus/swap
Both server responses are printed, even if you only use root.
Those printf calls should probably move to nfs_mountroot to
avoid this confusion.
Attached is a log of my experiment: (in case you're curious)
Note that there is only one call to nfs_mount_diskless()
and the value of swdevt[0].sw_dev ends up being 0701 (sd0b).
