Umm... I hope you didnt cut this portion out of your diskless kernel options NFS_ROOT # NFS usable as /, requires NFSCLIENT options NFSCLIENT # Network Filesystem Client options NFSSERVER # Network Filesystem Server You migh also want to re-read FreeBSD Handbook chapter 27.6.2.4 Booting with PXE (just in case) and my /var/run/dmesg.boot has these lines instead ... +Timecounter "TSC" frequency 1997211896 Hz quality 800 Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec +IPv6 packet filtering initialized, unlimited logging +ipfw2 (+ipv6) initialized, divert loadable, rule-based forwarding disabled, default to deny, logging unlimited +ad0: 76319MB <WDC WD800JB-00ETA0 77.07W77> at ata0-master UDMA100 +acd0: DVDROM <HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8161B/0102> at ata1-master UDMA33 +ad4: 35304MB <WDC WD360GD-00FLC0 33.08F33> at ata2-master SATA150 +Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad4s1a +rl0: link state changed to UP so basicaly, may i suggest to ensure that you dont have your firewall cutting off the cord and there is no problems initializing on-board ata devices?

While that is a useful tip, the NFS trace shows that the kernel doesn't even try to read any files. The last thing that gets read by anything is /etc/fstab, however it seems most likely that fstab was read by the bootloader rather than the kernel proper. -- Luke _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --------------------------------- Ring'em or ping'em.
