Re: Netbooting, Part II



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

This is part of the continuing saga of attempting to netboot one iMac from 
another.  Actually, I got it to boot, but now I've got problems with mounting 
the / directory on the client. (I want to have the client be a diskless 
client) I've got both client and server running 2.4.17 and have made sure 
that all of the nfs options were on in the kernel before I compiled it. I've 
set up my /etc/exports to look like this:
/ 10.39.59.4(rw,no_root_squash)
This is different from the example, but the example doesn't say exactly what 
the options mean, and I can't tell, even after I looked at the nfs-howto and 
the diskless howto, or the nfs manpages. 
I do get error messages, and they say that they can't find 02:00 (IIRC, the 
iMacs are at a school where I volunteer). This is an improvement over the 
00:ff error I was getting before. It just tells me that I should set root= to 
something different than what it is...

Can anyone help?

Thanks!
