I am trying diskless diskless with snap950210 and the distribution kernel. Have found a couple of problem this far (I expect more to come, but I cannot continue playing with it now...) First, the file "netboot.com" produced by the netboot code is not a real ".COM" file, the good one is "netboot.com.nohdr". I already pointed this out previously. Second: when the client and the server are on different networks, the client gets stuck with the following message: wd0: changing size of 'd' partition ... NFS SWAP: 131.114.83.5:/usr/diskless_root/swapfiles using 4096 kbyte NFS ROOT: 131.114.83.5:/usr/diskless_root nfs send error 65 for server 131.114.83.5:/usr/diskless_root/swapfiles I can get past this point if the server and the client are on the same subnet. Looks like the netmask is not passed properly from the loader to the kernel. Third: is there a FAQ on diskless stuff ? It would be really useful.
