OK. All Done...
I had a good stiff drink (Johnny Blue), and a good long "sit" away
from the tube, and thought this out.
(1) the inital boot sequence (just obtaining the kernel) *does*
require NFS support, therefore, NFS is at least exporting from the
server.
(2) Since the kernel *was* loaded, the place to begin looking was
right there: the kernel...
(3) I compiled a couple of different flavors of kernel, "just to
see what would happen", and each compile brought new and
interesting :) information forward...
(4) I had included the wd drivers so that I could maintain some
local space for swap if it turned out that I needed it. Once I
removed those drivers, the thing came right up!
I (obviously) need to document this for my own internal use,
and since I found several emails in the archives with the
identical questions/errors I had, I'll prolly submit it to the
handbook if they want it (after all, the entire "section" on
NFS consists of a treatise on interactions with high end
Sun servers looping FBSD...
In the interim, if anybody wants the "dirrty" notes, let me
know000000000000000000
