well, I've finally gotten my 3/50 to boot at least partially.  =)

Here's what the errno. 13 business was all about:

THe Linux NFS server assumes that it and its clients share the same namespace
and group tables.  Therefore, when the system booted it thought it was getting
something with bad permissions and died.  This was easily remidied by going
into the /exports directory, going into the appropriate dirs and chmoding to
root.bin.  =)

With regards to the swapfile dilemma I was having, the instructions didn't
specify that you HAVE to export the dir where the swapfile lives. After I did
that , it all worked.  


Many thanks to all those who have responded to my silly questions over the last
week or so.  Long live Free UNIX!!!!!!
