Hi!

After several unsuccessful attempts of booting my 5000/120 diskless
KN 02-BA 5.7e - I was happy to find my problem described in the archive:

 if error        nfs_boot: getfh - no pathname
 then bootptab   rp=/export/<mynode>/root  (possibly less than 16 characters)

BUT ... my problem persists!
>> boot 3/tftp  ends with ...
873824
...
...
nfs_boot: getfh - no pathname
...

btw: I ALLWAYS have to do boot 3/tftp twice (first time always ?FNF: 3/tftp/)
second time the kernel is found but does not find the rootpath. bootp -d5 :

bootfile=""                           (?FNF: 3/tftp/)
...
bootfile="/tftpboot/pmax/nfsnetbsd"    booting ...
...
bootfile=""                           (nfs_boot: getfh - no pathname)


Does anybody have an idea?

Many thanks in advance

Anton
