Hello. I have problems with netbooting a 319. The kernel loads fine,
but after it shows the line
..
nfs_boot: hostname=testbed.td.org.uit.no

it panics:

panic: nfs_boot: mountd swap, error=72.

..and jumps into the debugger. The output from
rpc.bootparamd -d looks like this

According to my errno.h, error 72 is EBADRPC. I've found the kernel
code in nfs_boot.c, but I can't tell what goes wrong.

/etc/bootparams looks like this:
--
testbed.Td.Org.Uit.No  root=apollo:/export/testbed/root \
                        swap=apollo:/export/testbed/swap

--

root is a directory with the diskless kernel and a simple etc, and
swap is a 16Mb null-file created as described in diskless(8).

Anyone got a clue?

Thanks,
