Hi,

    I choose OpenBSD-2.7/i386 as tftp/bootp server and nfs server, and want
to netboot decstation 5000/240.

** TFTP BOOT problem **

	# ls -lR /tftpboot
total 2
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Sep 13 09:52 pmax/

/tftpboot/pmax:
total 6336
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  3232752 Sep 13 09:51 install.ecoff

	# cat /etc/bootptab
.default:\
        :hd=/tftpboot/pmax/:\
        :bf=install.ecoff:\
        :hn:ip=202.38.89.87:\
        :ds=202.38.64.1:\

        :sm=255.255.255.0:\

        :rp=/export/DEC/:

dec:tc=.default:ht=ethernet:ha=08002b39c52f:ip=202.38.89.113:

    When I run `boot 3/tftp' from the prompt of DEC's console, it says:

	server err : 1 - 'File not found'

** NFS problem **

	# cat /etc/hosts

/export/DEC/home                       dec.fire.ustc.edu.cn

The blanks in /etc/exports include both TABs and SPACEs.

	# /sbin/nfsd
	# /sbin/mountd

    There are error messages in /var/log/daemon:

    It seems that is something wrong with the entries in /etc/exports, but I 
can't handle it. Everything modified was from the homepage of NetBSD/pmax.
