The bootparam phase all went fine, but the mountd call to get
the the "swap" file handle failed.

Your server is FreeBSD, right?  I think the FreeBSD mountd fails
mount requests for plain files (as opposed to directories), and
that represents an incompatibility with Sun-style diskless boot.

Does anyone have the diffs to fix the FreeBSD mountd?
If so, have they been submitted to the FreeBSD team?
