Hello,

I'm having a small problem getting an Indy booted and was wondering if
anyone could help me out.  Here's what I've got:  I serial console into
the Indy and can get it to pull the kernel via tftp and boot that.  I
have dhcpd answer the bootp request, which it does as shown by syslog.
When the kernel tries to mount / via NFS, however, it times out.  When I
watch the traffic with tcpdump I can see the initial bootp request and
then the tftp transfer of the kernel but after that I never see dhcp or
NFS traffic on the wire.  My NFS is set up correctly as I have a VAX
mounting its / from this machine via NFS, so I've ruled that out.  I
can't figure out why I wouldn't be seeing the dhcp or NFS traffic after
the kernel boots.  Anyone got any ideas about this?  I have dhcpd serve
up the same IP address as I set in the PROM on the Indy and it seems to
work OK to tftp the kernel, so I'm at a loss.  Thanks for any help.

Thanks,
-Scott
