Can't mount nfsroot Re: sunlance.c - network driver for sun4m
Hi,
Ok so you've got tftp running and your bootpd (which gives your client
computer
its name and network address), your nfs server is running and the
name or ip of your client is listed in the /etc/exports file.
The nfs server appears to be set up correctly and if it works from a third
box thats fine.
Your kernel boots, but when the portmapper tries to convert the RPC
program number to a port is tries the wrong program numbers and doesn't
recieve a port so it can't talk to the NFS server and there it stops.
N.B. You mentioned earlier that you weren't able to compile a kernel image
on an intel machine, which kernel are you running and are your all your
options compilled in (ie no modules).
Regards,
Peter Firmstone.
