From what I remember, you can safely ignore this message. dbootstrap is
issuing a "modprobe nfs" command just to be sure the module is loaded if not
already done (at least on intel). Sparc kernel is compiled (2.0.35 should be,
don't remember anything about latest 2.2.X, sorry) with full NFS support
therefore there is no need to load such module. I agree I need to find a
method to avoid emiting the modprobe command when it is not required (maybe
looking in /proc/filesystems for an nfs entry ?).
If dbootstrap can't locate the base tarball, the trouble could be somewhere
else.
btw, did you succeed in installing the base system ?
Hope this helps you.
