Hi,

I've finally got the O2 booting the kernel, but it failing to pick-up
the fact that it should be mounting root over NFS.  My DHCP settings
look like:
        
        host o2 {
            option host-name "erv";
            hardware ethernet 08:00:69:05:XX:XX;
            fixed-address 192.168.X.X;
            server-name "boothost:/usr/local/sgimips-netboot";
            option root-path "/usr/local/sgimips-netboot";
            next-server boothost;
        }

I've also set OSLoadPartition to "boothost:/usr/local/sgimips-netboot".
However, when I boot it hangs on the root prompt, and fails to offer NFS
as an option:

        use one of: sd0[a-p] cd0[a-p] ddb halt reboot

Are there any other parameters I should be setting?
