Hello,

I'm trying to setup a diskless machine (usable e.g. for crash testing etc.).
I read diskless(5) etc. I got PXE working, the second-stage bootstrap
pxeboot_ia32_com0.bin over serial console works fine aswell.

The kernel is successfully loaded via tftp.
All goes fine until the last stage> mounting the root filesystem over nfs.

At the serial console from the diskless server I get the following error:

boot device: ex0
root on ex0
nfs_boot: trying DHCP/BOOTP
nfs_boot: DHCP next-server: 10.0.1.1
nfs_boot: my_name=xcrash
nfs_boot: my_domain=mydomain.com
nfs_boot: my_addr=10.0.1.2
nfs_boot: my_mask=255.255.255.0
nfs_boot: gateway=10.0.1.1
nfs_boot: sosend: 49
nfs_boot: mountd error=49
nfs_boot: mountd `10.0.1.1:/export/crash', error=49
no file system for ex0
cannot mount root, error = 79
root device (default ex0):


Well, I suspect that the error is somewhere in the /etc/exports file, there I
have:
milos:2$ cat /etc/exports 
/export/crash -mapall=root -alldirs xcrash

where the entry from /etc/hosts is:
10.0.1.2                xcrash xcrash.mydomain.com

The tcpdump trace shows:

In /var/log/authlog I can see:
Nov  3 21:15:43 xxx rpcbind: connect from ::ffff:10.0.1.2 to getport/addr(mountd)
Nov  3 21:18:28 xxx rpcbind: connect from ::ffff:10.0.1.2 to getport/addr(mountd)

Well, in addition the majority of nfs/rpc services I need should be up
and running:
root:/home/milos:2# ps axuww|grep rpc
root     287  0.0  0.3   176   736 ??  Ss    7:46PM 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/rpc.lockd 
root     318  0.0  0.3   168   748 ??  Ss    7:46PM 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/rpc.statd 
root    2985  0.0  0.3   152   832 ??  Ss    9:06PM 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/rpcbind -l 
and

root:/home/milos:4# ps axuww|grep nfs  
root    2103  0.0  0.3   116   744 ??  Ss    8:52PM 0:00.01 nfsd: master

root    3526  0.0  0.2    44   496 ??  SL    8:52PM 0:00.00 nfsd: server 
root    4144  0.0  0.2    44   496 ??  SL    8:52PM 0:00.00 nfsd: server 
root    4774  0.0  0.2    44   496 ??  SL    8:52PM 0:00.00 nfsd: server 

I actually have no glue while looking at all this alltogether.

Output from dmesg follows.

Thank you for any idea/glue/help.

Milos
