Hello. I have lots of problems getting a PC client started as a diskless client. The server is an FBSD 2.2.2 system. I use the neboot software from the distribution (/sys/i386/boot/netboot). The server is exactly set up like the description made in the handbook for FBSD 2.2.2, page 229. Now I detached both a client and an experimental server from the net and put them together into a private network, reconfigured the server to match all the IPs etc. and tried booting again - with the same error: after a while the slash was rotating on the client when the neboot software has already started up (the client received the config-file and prints the contents of /tftpboot/freebsd.IP!) it stops and tells me "Unable to get SWAP NFS/MOUNT ports". What happened? Well, when I installed the system, I choosed DES and kerberos to be installed on the server, but I never used kerberos. When I checked up what these packages installed, I saw that the nfs-daemon was replaced by another one. Is that maybe the subject of the faults? I have no idea what's going wrong. Maybe the RPC services are faulty ore something other is misconfigured. If anybody has any idea, tips or hints, please contact me! Thanks in advance oliver ------------------------------------------------------------------- O.
