I get exactly the same results with the 8-2 kernel on a RiscStation 2000, so
I'll be interested in anything you learn.  I haven't tried the 2200 yet, but
it's starting to sound promising.

Thanks!

Actually this is VERY interesting that you get this far at all...
The reason I say that it is my understanding that RiscServer 2200
and RiscSever Express are two different machines...
One uses an ncr730 scsi controller the other uses
ncr700/710 .... Currently that 'arc' ports uses
the cpu model type reported by ARC firmware ONLY
to determine  how to configure... If two different
arch's report the same cpu-type one machine will
have to be the odd man out!

and puts a message on the console that it's mounting the correct nfs export
as root. At this point it apparently hangs, nothing else on the console and
no response to ping.
