Hi All,

I encountered this error when I didn't have a directory called =
/tftpboot/12341B1B on the server ( I had created /tftpboot/12341b1b.)  =
That allowed me to get to the stage where NetBSD tried to nfsmount the =
swap partition, created in accordance with diskless(8), without any =
luck.  It simply seemed not to want to mount a file, and panic'd when it =
failed...

Any suggestions?

Peter Davie
