I'm trying to get an old Sun 3/50 to boot diskless off of my FreeBSD server. Everything works okay except mounting the swap file. The Sun expects to mount a file /export/client/swap, where swap is the swap file, and from the FreeBSD diskless documents, FreeBSD will export a directory .../swap and inside that directory is the actual swap file. (When the Sun tries to mount the actual swap file /export/client/swap, I get a: panic: nfs_boot: mountd swap, error=72 Where /usr/include/sys/errno.h tells me that: #define EBADRPC 72 /* RPC struct is bad */ If I make /export/client/swap a directory, then the boot gets past the previous panic and gives me an entirely different panic. (Related to the fact that it thought that it just mounted it's swap file, but it really just mounted a directory.)) Is there anyway to get FreeBSD and my old Sun3 to work together? Thanks.
