Well, by virtue that you got to the `swap' keyword, I'd say that
bootparam worked fine ... considering the panic, I'd say that the kernel
either got a garbage packet from the NFS server, or there's no permission
for the client to mount swap. Check your exports file ... make sure that
the client has permission to mount _all_ directories on the filesystem.
Under NetBSD, this is achieved by an exports like like:
/export -maproot=root -alldirs client1 client2
(assuming, of course, that /export is the mount point of its filesystem.)
It could just be bad error reporting on the part of the kernel... *shrug*
Could you e-mail me the output of `df' and your /etc/exports file?
Running tcpdump on that wire youldn't hurt, either ... you'll be able to
see the NFS transactions take place ...
