I came a long way, at least I have a booting system. Except... The kernel boots and then the system goes into a spiral of error messages: The last few kernel lines (bright letters) are: rootfs is 10.0.0.1:/tftpboot Ignoring field type 15 Mounting root from nfs: NFS ROOT: 10.0.0.1:/tftpboot And then this: Interface rl0 IP-Address 10.0.0.100 Broadcast 10.0.0.255 mount_null: vfsload(null): No such file or directory source_rc_confs: not found Skipping disk checks ... source_rc_confs: not found mount_null: vfsload(null): No such file or directory /etc/rc.diskless2: cannot create /tmp/dev.tmp: read only file system /etc/rc.diskless2: cannot open /tmp/dev.tmp: no such file ...

I stumbled across rc.diskless[1,2] and now I'm totally confused as to what the sequence of events is and how the client eventually gets r/w access to its designated root file system. It has access, but initially apparently read only. When does fstab come into play? With all the errors it never seems to get there. The documentation I found on the Web is sketchy at best and usually at least two years old. I'm stumped. Anybody?
