Sigh.. I've been at this all day.
Im trying to boot my Sun4/260 via nfs ( nfs server is a linux box)
I've installed the whole sparc netbsd stuff.
I've even uncovered a nfs-kernel for it.
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       917693 May  7 14:05 netbsd
thats the nfs kernel. that i found somewhere on netbsd.orgas:
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       402384 Jan  9 11:17 netbsd.root_on_nfs.gz
inside the snapshot dir.
here is my /etc/exports on the linux nfs box
duck:/var/sparc# less /etc/exports
/var/sparc      xhost(rw)
-------------------------
here is an excerp from /etc/hosts
192.0.2.69              sun3.inner.com xhost sunny sun3
--------------------------------------
(it still says sun3 cause i havent changed it yet. doesnt matter)

here is /etc/bootparams
duck:/var/sparc# cat /etc/bootparams
xhost root=server:/var/sparc/netbsd
---------------------------------
I recompiled tftpd to look in /var/sparc/tftpboot
and well as the sun3 kernel uses something linked to the hex address of the IP i linked the netbsd nfs kernel to it. (im trying to link the sun3.boot.4.1.1) kernel to it now.) this probably wont work.

ummmmm lets see...
it boots up, and gets its IP address.
then sits there at tftp timeout.....
i've tried everything i can think of...

again its a sun4/260
any help appreciated greatly......
thanks in advance
