Greets...

	In the last episode, I asked if there was anything I should know...

Basically, I was able to figure out the procedure from the archives: they
*are* dated, but still close enough to figure out most of what's going on.
	
	- Almost -  :)

The boot program finds it's kernel, and starts it up.  Then the normal probings
go on for a little while, and then comes the panic...

Just after probing the npx:
panic: nfs_mountroot: SIOCAIFADDR: 6

Since this is obviously pointing at something having to do with the area
being specified as the workstation's root partition, I checked that the
area is in fact mountable (RW at present) from another machine.  

At this point though, I am outta my league, and lost...

All help appreciated! (Only 11 more to go ;-)
