I am using FreeBSD 2.2.5 I am trying to get a client to 'disklessly' boot across the network. I have followed the intructions in the handbook fairly closely and also the details that I found at http:/www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/HomeAuto/diskless The diskless machine boots the correct kernel, detects devices, but then says panic: nfs_mountroot SIOCAIFADDR:6 I wonder if anyone can point me to what I might be doing wrong. The relevant files are: /etc/bootptab --------------------------- client:\ :ht=ether:\ :ha=00c0dfacfbf6:\ :sm=255.255.255.0:\ :hn:\ :ds=192.168.1.1:\ :ip=192.168.1.2:\ :gw=192.168.1.1:\ :vm=rfc1048:\ --------------------------- /etc/exports --------------------------- /usr/rootfs/client /usr/swapfs -maproot=0:0 client --------------------------- /usr/rootfs/client/etc/rc --------------------------- #!/bin/sh HOME=/; export HOME PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin export PATH # swapon -a /sbin ifconfig ed0 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 mount_nfs server:/usr/rootfs/client / mount_nfs server:/usr /usr # date exit 0 --------------------------- /tftpboot/freebsd.192.168.1.2 --------------------------- rootfs 192.168.1.1:/usr/rootfs/client swapfs 192.168.1.1:/usr/swapfs swapsize 20000 hostname client.hellenic.org --------------------------- In usr/rootfs/client/etc/rc.conf I have set nfs_client_enable="YES" Any help would be most gratefully received.
