Subject: Another question about diskless clients.

Well I have followed the faq/howto verbatim, but I have run into a small problem.
I am running bootpd and bootparamd on a linux server, and the diskless 3/50 goes
through the boot process, but gets to the follow errors:

nfs_boot: trying RARP ( and RPC/bootparam)
nfs_boot: client_addr=0xb00010a (RARP from 0xb000107)
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: bootparam whoami, error=60
no file system for le0
cannot mount root, error = 79

Now I have bootparamd/mountd/nfsd all running with the maximum verbosity on the
server, and I see during the timeout that the 3/50 is trying to access something
on the NFS server, as for what? I cannot tell.

Also one other quick question, this next item isnt stopping me, but is slowing
the boot process down considerably:  On the linux server I am watching bootparamd
complain about:

getfile got question for "client" and file "gateway"
getfile failed for client


Any help on this beast would be most .. helpful. :)
