I'm attempting to boot a -current system (from 4 days ago) off of a modified GENERIC kernel floppy disk, and it is failing in kern/vfs_conf.c's vfs_mountrootfs routine, with a message: rootdev=0xffffffff error=6, panic: cannot mount root(2) rootdev is NODEV, and err is ENXIO. The isc-dhcp server does serve the bootp request successfully (I get messages from the -current kernel that indicate an IP address, rootfs, et.al), and the NFS server reports the success of the client mounting the NFS-exported filesystem (the server is a 3.1-RELEASE machine). I am not specifying any swap (yet). I'm using a straight GENERIC kernel, kgzipped, with options added at the end: options BOOTP options BOOTP_NFSROOT options BOOTP_COMPAT options NULLFS options UNION (the NFS_ROOT option is already in GENERIC.) Am I missing something? (I tried "BOOTP_NFSV3" option also)... Any success stories using this method?
