Can somebody tell me how to setup a swap file on an NFS export?  I am
booting a 4/110 from a Linux box.  Here's the important info:

/etc/exports: (on server)

/sun                          	neptune(rw) saturn(rw)
/sun/swap			neptune(rw) saturn(rw)

/etc/bootparams: (on server)

neptune root=saturn:/sun swap=saturn:/sun/swap

ls -l /sun (showing only swap directory)

drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         1024 Nov 23 20:57 swap/


--- boot messages ---

swap on saturn:/sun/swap

rebooting

	Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks.
