If its got it boot path, that means bootparamd is working correctly.
Now, make sure that it is exported corectly via NFS. ie;
/etc/exports:
/ -alldirs -maproot=root -noresvport hostname
You can only use -alldirs when exporting a mountpoint (ie /).
You need alldirs because you'll be mounting something like
/export/client/root.
Make sure mountd is running with '-n'. Also make sure that the exported
directory ie (/export/client/root) is world rwx. (Hmm, this could be
dangerous. I got it to work this way, but blows file security out of the
water. You might want to play with permissions until it work right).
Also, showmount -e nfs_server to make sure everything is being exported
correctly.
Hope this helps...
