I have the boot blocks and kernel in /usr/local/tftpboot with a symbolic link from /tftpboot. The SPARC will get the boot block and the bootp process works (it knows its hostname and ip address) but it won't mount the root directory over NFS. When it tries to the following appears on the con of my FreeBSD machine 'mountd [478] : mount request for /usr/local/tftpboot denied from host selway 192.168.0.10'. My exports file originally had a single line it it: /usr/local/tftpboot -alldirs -mapall=root But when i -HUP'd mountd it complained about not being able to re-mount the directory, whatever that means. So, I jumped straight to what I thought would get the job done with: / -alldirs -mapall=root But it's still denying mount requests. I've gone through the exports and mountd man pages, and I can't find anything obviously wrong with my exports file, does anyone know what the problem is here? TIA.
