I have poured over the man pages  and have finally figured out how   
diskless workstations work, for the most part.  I have one last problem,   
I think, before I can boot, the swap file.

I have created a swap file, just as the diskless man page instructed.  I   
have finally got the root to seemingly mount, but then the swap appeases   
to die.  I got the error...
panic: nfs_boot: mountd swap, error=72

Before I got the root problem fixed, I got this error mounting the root.

Does the swap need to be exportable via nfs?

Any other ideas or foreseeable problems?
