Ok.  My desire to have my own copy of the Linux boot stuff has been
fulfilled.  I have compiled rbootd and rpc.bootparamd.  I have entered all
the stuff into the appropriate files like the ethernet address, etc.

I now turn on the HP 9000/340 and it goes through its little test stuff of
keyboard and the like.  I select to boot from the machine that is running
the rbootd.

The console then gives me the entire comment header (that I did not get a
chance to copy down) and stuff that looks like this:

Boot: [netbsd][-s][-a][-d] :-
boot: client IP address: 129.22.56.15
bootparamd: 'whoami' call failed
le(0,0,0,0): Unknown error: code 72
Boot: [onetbsd][-s][-a][-d] :-
le_put: xmit error, buf 0
Boot: [netbsd][-s][-a][-d] :-
boot: client IP address: 129.22.56.15
bootparamd: 'whoami' call failed
le(0,0,0,0): Unknown error: code 60
   .
   .
   .

My questions:  Is this thing actually booting?  (At least halfway?)  Just a
Yes to that question will make me happy.

Making a swap area on an NFS exported drive:  Do I just need to export and
empty directory?

Does network traffic effect this boot situation?  Does this box need to
have an HP-IB drive attached to it?  (I got some error when the drives were
not turned on once but they have gone away now.).

rpc.bootparamd is giving this in debug mode:
whoami got question for 129.22.56.15
This is host snowhite.eeap.cwru.edu
Returning snowhite   (none)    127.0.0.1
