Hello;

	I've got a VS3100, and I netbooted it from my linuxstation.
mopserver works fine, rpc.bootparamd works fine, and the kernel boots ok.
however it fails when it comes when it comes to nfs_boot. It first looks
for dhcp/bootp, times out, then tries rarp; then I got the following
errors:

nfs_boot: trying RARP (and RPC/bootparam)
nfs_boot: cliend_addr=0xa3768615 (RARP from 0xa3768601)
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: bootparam whoami, error=60
no file system for ln0
can not mount root, errno =79
root device (default ln0)

now my rpc.bootparamd answers whoami questions at the beginning. This is
my /etc/bootparams

ottovax.se.fit.edu      root=163.118.134.1:/VAX/root/ swap=163.118.134.1:/VAX/swap 

and at my console, I could see it answering whoami's before it booted.
also my /VAX/root directory is getting mounted, I can see that on my
messages. and I am running rpc.portmap, rpc.nfsd, rpc.mountd and
rpc.bootparamd.

at this point I am completely stuck. can someone give me a hand please?

thank you.
