Thanks for the reply, but mountd is running with the -r
parm.  If I can give the list some more info, my
/tftpboot/freebsd.x.x.x.x file looks like this:

rootfs 155.238.17.1:/usr/rootfs/pc
swapfs 155.238.17.1:/usr/swapfs/swap.155.238.17.2
swapsize 2048000
hostname pc.ctech.ac.za

and my /etc/exports file look like this:

/usr/swapfs /usr/rootfs/pc -maproot=0:0 pc.ctech.ac.za
/usr/local -ro -network 155.238.17 -mask 255.255.255.0 -maproot=0:0

I still get the error:

*** RPC Error: (0,0,0):
 Unable to mount SWAP filesystem: Permission Denied

However, and this is the fun part, if I change my swap
setting in the tftpboot directory from 

swapfs 155.238.17.1:/usr/swapfs/swap.155.238.17.2
	
to

swapfs 155.238.17.1:/usr/swapfs

it finds the kernel and boots, but then reboots
itself.

Any help please.

Thanks
-Jacques
