Hello,

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.4 via NFS over the PLIP interface on my
notebook. But at the moment it's not working. I've configured the lp1 interface
on the "mother" PC. It's working, I tried it with mounting directories on
another PC, erverything went well.

Now during the installation process for my notebook, I do the recommended
adjustments, select the lp0 interface, choose the right installation directory
of the server, use the IP's of the PLIP interfaces, etc. After commiting the
actions, the directory structure on the notebook becomes installed. The second
display shows htat the network initializes succesfully, but after installing
/etc/fstab the installation process hangs up and after that just an error
message like "RPC portmapper failure - RPC timeout". If I look on display, an
ifconfig -a command shows the right initialization of lp0. An tcpdump -i lp1 on
the server shows some interaction messages like "time smallie.1001 >
192.168.0.4.sunrpc: udp 56" with a decreasing number after smallie.

A netstat -nr on the server shows that the interface is active, because the use
number is greater than zero for lp1 after the installation start on smallie
(notebook).

So, what's wrong???

Thanks,
Thomas
