I am unable to get my SS1 to boot off the net from my pc with NetBSD
1.1. It seems that no matter what I try I get error 72 from mountd when
the kernel tries to mount the swap file. I can only assume that there is
some error on my part with the configuration, since I don't see anyone
else complaining about it.
Here are my config files for the sparc ("sparcomatic") and the boot
server ("boot9"):
boot9's /etc/exports:
/usr/sparc -maproot=root sparcomatic
boot9's /etc/bootparams:
sparcomatic root=boot9:/usr/sparc \
swap=boot9:/usr/sparc/swapfile
boot9's and sparcomatic's /etc/hosts:
#
127.1 localhost localhost.hartnell.cc.ca.us
#
# Non-Imaginary network.
198.94.9.200 boot9 boot9.hartnell.cc.ca.us
198.94.9.201 sparcomatic sparcomatic.hartnell.cc.ca.us
198.94.9.253 jafar jafar.hartnell.cc.ca.us
198.94.11.253 einstein einstein.hartnell.cc.ca.us
198.94.9.240 doc doc.hartnell.cc.ca.us
I don't think it gets this far, but here is the sparc's /etc/fstab:
# experimental fstab for sparc kg
boot9:/usr/sparc / nfs rw 0 0
boot9:/usr/sparc/swapfile none swap rw 0 0
# boot9:/usr/sparc/swapfile none nfs rw 0 0
The swap file was created by dd inside the root directory of the sparc,
namely /usr/sparc on the server. I have tried other places, too, but
they all result in the same error 72.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
