Bug#156308: boot-floppies: installation on NFS root doesn't work
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.23
CD image: debian-30r0-powerpc-binary-1_NONUS.iso
MD5: 59437e412f1779b603dca0a677b20e82
Note on version number: /sbin/dbootstrap identifies itself as belonging
to boot-floppies 3.0.23 in the opening "Release Notes", but the list
of package sources
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian3.0r0/main/source/Sources.gz
MD5: 2162652a5bd38112f2c6f8c0bb4403d6
says it's version 3.0.22. Huh?
My machine (iBook Firewire) doesn't have any mass storage devices except
a CD-ROM drive, and in this test nothing is plugged into the USB or
Firewire port.
After passing the yaboot prompt I have the following installation dialog
(window-headline (window-text) -- response [comment]):

[I know that this export contains nothing except a directory
named .logs and has more than one gigabyte room. I also know
that a certain client (Debian2.2r6, powerpc, package nfs-common)
can do F_SETLK locking with this server (Debian3.0r0, i386,
package nfs-kernel-server) because I have tested it from
the client side with the small program

This problem has been discussed from a different angle in the messages
