I'm trying to netboot a 486, but it stalls on this
line:
NFS ROOT: 192.168.0.100:/diskless/rootfs/bsd

Yet, that same directory is mountable from another
machine
on the network, and it contains the kernel as well as
other
recommended subdirectories. All of which has been done
in
accordance with the tutorial at:
http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskless-x/index.html

In detail, here are a few things I might have missed:
in /tftpboot/cfg.192.168.0.101:
rootfs 192.168.0.100:/diskless/rootfs/bsd
hostname bsd.b0x.com

in /etc/exports:
/usr
/diskless/rootfs/bsd -maproot=0:0

in /etc/bootptab, everything as noted in the tutorial

in /diskless/rootfs/bsd, as tutorial, even did chown
and chmod accordingly

in /etc/rc.conf:
nfs_server_enable="YES"

in /etc/inetd.conf, enabled tftp and bootps

That's all for now, hope that'll help solve the
problem.
Marc
