I have read all the docs more then once.

I have an SS20 that I am trying to netboot to install the last build of 
-current (ie. 2.0). My netboot server is an i386 running OpenBSD3.5.

The SS20 is setup to be 192.168.64.45 and the OBSD box is 192.168.64.9. 
The system boots past the TFTP to the NFS part and..

The error on the SS20 is...

root addr=192.168.64.9 path=
Can't open NFS network connection on '.....bla bla bla correct sun OF 
path to nic'
Cannot load netbsd: error=13

So..(on the OBSD box):

[/]:cat /etc/exports
/data
/export/client/root -maproot=root client.beastproject.org

[/]:cat /etc/hosts

[/]:ps -ax | grep mount

and I can see the NFS share from another box so I know that it is 
exported. I also tried with /export/client/root exported to the world.

What am I missing?

Help please!


Thanks!
