thanks a lot.
finally i heared that i have to do it this way. really tricky...

now finally it boots but it can't find the nfs server. it get's me the
following error:
 
Looking up port of RPC 100002/2 on 192.168.10.1
RPC: sendmsg returned error 51

Root-NFS: Server returned error -5 while mounting /sun4m


the boot parameter is: "boot net nfsroot=192.168.10.1:/sun4m"

and if i do without the boot parameter it writes the following error:

Root-NFS: No NFS server avaible, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.

the portmap is running:
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100003    2   udp   2049  nfs
    100005    1   udp   1039  mountd

    100005    3   udp   1039  mountd
    100005    3   tcp   1066  mountd

as it should till the mountd. shouldn't it run below the port 1024? if
so how can i put it back to the right port? but on the other side i can
mount this nfs part. from a 3th box. that means nfs works correct. or
not?


to install a sun box is much more complicated then i ever imagined it.
and i always drive to a dead end... 



ps: i still tried to link to silo and it doesn't worked as expected.
silo starts but is not able to start any kernel images.


thanks a lot for your help,
