describes very well my problem: A pair of DEC 3000 m300 machines, and a
"SWITCHING TO SERIAL CONSOLE" message that ends all my installation attemps.
I've got no CD-ROM, no floppy, only- a working BOOTP/TFTP setup. I need to
install a NFS-root NetBSD system on both of those. The NFS server is already
up and kicking, and NetBSD is already booting. (NFS server is i386 Debian
linux)
What do I need to modify on the nfs server to make netbsd boot, start SSH,
and let me login as root to finish everything?
