In /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386/pxe.c line 340, the function pxe_setnfshandle always gets called. If you don't have an nfs server running, the loader gives the error "NFS MOUNT RPC Error". It continues loading the mfsroot over tftp though. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Can the option to do the rpc mount be made a compile time switch? This would be great for everyone who doesn't need the nfs mount option for diskless clients. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
