Hi, everyone:

I've followed the setup guide for diskless machines at
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/

I'm able to boot the machine using netboot.com and it works fine using bootp and
tftp.

I've run "cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV all"

but during boot I'm getting this:
...
swapctl: adding server:/export/bla/swap as swap device at priority 0
dmesg: kvm_read: kvm_read: Bad address (0xc03f19b0)
...
Apr 24 05:21:01 bla getty[154]: /dev/ttyE0: Device not configured

and it just sits there. Why wont getty spawn a login prompt?


My NFS (and tftp+bootp) server is a Debian Linux 2.2 (i386) box which seems to work
just fint.


Thank you

/Michael
