I would say almost exactly. It is a diskless 3/50, and after further
checking, it is sending the same nfs write packet. But, my server
is a SunOS 4.x box (4.1.1 sun3). 

by compiling the kernel (nfs_vfsops) with NFS_BOOT_RWSIZE=1024 the system
becomes almost usable (I can make it thru' boot up and actually log in)
