Everything seems to be up and running fine, and since I've never used a =
NFS for a root filesystem before, I'm a little clueless. Surely this =
must be an over asked or previously answered question, but I beg you to =
suffer my ignorance. After DHCP configuration, which goes very smooth, =
my dreamcast is proud to annouce to me this:
root on 192.168.1.4:/usr/export/spellcast
where /usr/export/spellcast (the root fs) looks more or less like this:
[ttyp0 prez@devstyle:/usr/export/spellcast]> ls
altroot dev etc mnt sbin sys usr
bin dist home root stand tmp var
I'm curious: In the normal booting process, what is my Dreamcast =
supposed to be doing next? What have I missed?
Regards,
- Andrew.
