Your server's mountd is restricting NFS mounts to clients that send
their RPC requests from a "reserved" port number.  The diskless boot
code does not (yet) use reserved ports.  For now, you should start
mountd with the -n flag to allow "non-root" requests (those from
non-reserved ports).

I have no idea about this one.  Mine works with just a disk (ID=0).
Does the problem occur with "netbsd-le0" in the FTP/sun3 area?

Does the CG4 work OK?  (I don't have a CG4)
