Warner Losh stands accused of saying: > OK. The host.conf problem was the problem. I'm now getting RPC > timeouts on the thing I'm trying to boot because I'm not running > portmapper or bootparamd. Go figure :-). At least RARP is out of the > way now. There's an error in the bootparamd manpage that will have you tearing your hair out; the paths returned need to be in the form 'root=host:/path', not 'root=/path'. I have a patch for this to commit as soon as I can get a connection to freefall. It would be good perhaps to add some more debugging to bootparamd, but the code is _awful_. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
