I am booting a sun4m with netbsd from a linuxppc machine.
It boots fine till this point and stops:

nfs_boot: trying RARP (and RPC/bootparam)
nfs_boot: client_addr=0xac108033 (RARP from 0xac108032)
nfs_boot: timeout...
.
.
.
nfs_boot: bootparam whoami, error=60
no file system for le0
cannot mount root, error = 79
root defvice (default le0):


This is after the kernel boots and everything. And other machines can
mount the root file system via nfs. is this a bootparam prob or nfs?

The /var/log/messages (with rpc.bootparam -s) show:

and TCPDUMP shows:

Repeating

Then that error. Can anyone tell me how to fix this. This machine doesn't
have an OS on it, and is has only the internal diskdrive. SO this is the
only way I can install to it.

Thanks
