But you see it correctly on your i386 box in /usr/local/indy? What do
you mean by 'went corrupted'? Is it corrupted afterwards on your i386
box or what? your indy can't make it corrupt over NFS.
How do you configure it? What happends if you boot from it via nfs?
What messages do you get and where do you think it gets wrong?
