NFS reads of the kernel...

I've since made more/less (maybe different) progress.

The timeout of the bootp requests can be removed by running a dhcp server
(I should know that, but 'man bootp' really ought to link a dhcp page).

However the netbsd dhcp server seems unwilling to report the 'server path'
option - which I think needs setting to the base of the exported filesystem.
(I don't fancy running nfsd chrooted....)
I've searched the source (parts are trully horrid) but the only reference
to the server path option is in a header file.  Maybe it can be specified
by number?

The INSTALL kernel actually loads - but can't find a root filesystem.

Is there a problem with the kernel size?
