Hello alls,

I have a sun3/50 that i'm attempting to get to run diskless via a linux server.
I can get the machine to go through the majority of the boot process.  
My bootparams file has root as being (on the linux box) as being
/usr/NetBSD/icarus/root and the swap as being /usr/NetBSD/icarus/swap.  

In addition, i'm exporting /usr/NetBSD/netbsd.sun3/usr.  I have untarred
the NetBSD-1.1 distribution on /usr/NetBSD/netbsd.sun3 (using xpfvs to
ensure permissions and uids were preserved), and I linked the files in
/usr/NetBSD/netbsd.sun3/bin and /usr/NetBSD/netbsd.sun3/sbin to 
/usr/NetBSD/icarus/root and also have 'local' copies of var, etc, tmp,
and dev.

Finally, i'm using the netbsd-gen kernel that was under NetBSD-current
on ftp.netbsd.org.

The kernel appears to go through the boot process (i'm in diagnostic mode,
booting with b le() -s), but just after it mounts the root dir and the swap
file, it hangs.  (perhaps linux has a problem exporting a file?).  Any
idea on what would be causing this?  Here's the output from my boot sequence:

Thanks in advance for any ideas :)
