Ok, I'll try that.

No, I haven't.  I specified that name in the nfsroot= parameter.

I'll make sure they are the same.  AFAIK I haven't even gotten that
far yet!

Yes.

    /tftpboot/kiosk0    192.168.1.2(rw,no_root_squash)

Ok, thanks.  Can you send me the boot loader config for the diskless
term too?  Just out of curiosity, which boot loader are you using?
