I am unable to get my SS1 to boot off the net from my pc with NetBSD 
1.1.  It seems that no matter what I try I get error 72 from mountd when 
the kernel tries to mount the swap file.  I can only assume that there is 
some error on my part with the configuration, since I don't see anyone 
else complaining about it.

Here are my config files for the sparc ("sparcomatic") and the boot 
server ("boot9"):

boot9's /etc/exports:

/usr/sparc -maproot=root sparcomatic

boot9's /etc/bootparams:

sparcomatic	root=boot9:/usr/sparc \
		swap=boot9:/usr/sparc/swapfile

boot9's and sparcomatic's /etc/hosts:

#
127.1		localhost localhost.hartnell.cc.ca.us
#
# Non-Imaginary network.
198.94.9.200	boot9 boot9.hartnell.cc.ca.us
198.94.9.201	sparcomatic sparcomatic.hartnell.cc.ca.us
198.94.9.253	jafar jafar.hartnell.cc.ca.us
198.94.11.253	einstein einstein.hartnell.cc.ca.us
198.94.9.240	doc doc.hartnell.cc.ca.us

I don't think it gets this far, but here is the sparc's /etc/fstab:

# experimental fstab for sparc kg
boot9:/usr/sparc / nfs rw 0 0
boot9:/usr/sparc/swapfile none swap rw 0 0
# boot9:/usr/sparc/swapfile none nfs rw 0 0



The swap file was created by dd inside the root directory of the sparc, 
namely /usr/sparc on the server.  I have tried other places, too, but 
they all result in the same error 72.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
