Thanks, thats exactly what I needed. I used vnconfig to mount the
ISO and copy out the files that I needed. I regularly netboot netbsd
install kernels on our DS10Ls and CS20s, so it was really just a
matter of getting the loader files in place.
I've not gotten it to boot on the DS10L, but a same request by a
CS20 will get me further, both with varied results (I'll included below)
I'd like to hear from folks running with more than 10 NFS clients with
a single NFS server using a YP master with a couple of slaves regarding
performance (mostly) and reliability. If you don't use NFS+YP, then
don't bother ;-) You're system has probably been up for years... the few
NetBSD machines that I have that don't use NFS run for as long as I let
them.
However, through NFS in there and you get to see funky behaviour.
Speaking of which, did the darwin NFS fixes get introduced into FreeBSD?

Is FreeBSD panicking due to something with the Tekram SCSI host adapter?
I didn't find a kernel with full symbols on the 'bootonly' ISO.
On the DS10L .. now at first, you'd probably just assume this was a
bootptab
syntax error .. but its using the same netboot and layout as what the
CS20 just
tried to boot. The NetBSD install kern I use for 1.6.2 is also in the
tftpboot directory
so when I point to the NetBSD netboot file, the DS10L boots as
expected. However,
again with the same setup as the CS20, I get this:
Server is on same subnet as client.

The bootptab entry looks like this .. but I don't believe its the issue
since the
only thing I'm changing between the DS10L and CS20 boots is the
MAC address ..
