Actually, the kernel boots, but when it tries to mount the nfs
filesystems, I get a "cannot mount root, error = 79", and if I type the
options manually (root device=ie0, dump=none, filesystem type=nfs), then I
get a "cannont mount root, error = 65"
I made the /etc/fstab on the root mount and added the appropriate mounts
for root and swap. Where can I get errorcode meanings?
