ok now it does download the boot loader,
there comes a "booting netbsd" :-))))
then it prints
bootp: no reply
using bootparams protocol: ip 192.168.1.10bootparamd: 'whoiam' call failed
canīt open NFS network connection :-(

my exports look as follows:
/export/client/root -maproot=root:wheel SUNIPX
/export/client/swap -maproot=root:wheel SUNIPX
/export/client/usr -maproot=nobody:nobody SUNIPX
/export/client/home -maproot=nobody:nobody SUNIPX

if i try to start mountd it says
Jul 23 16:38:15 sunone mountd[502]: "/export/client/usr -maproot", line 3:
Can't change attributes for /export/client/usr to SUNIPX: Operation not
permitted
Jul 23 16:38:15 sunone mountd[502]: "/export/client/home -maproot", line 4:
Can't change attributes for /export/client/home to SUNIPX: Operation not
permitted
so i think the problem is the nfs server right?

i killed lines 2-4 ;-) and started the mountd

google says nothing about "bootparamd: whoiam call failed"
the howto says:
If the bootparams requests fail, the client will print:
bootparamd: `whoami' call failed
le(0,0,0,0): Unknown error: code 60
boot: Unknown error: code 60
but it does not says what i have to check :-(
can somebody help me? thx a lot
David
