Hmm, /etc/ethers is:
----
08:00:2b:26:47:63 server3100
----

/etc/hosts:
----
10.10.10.1	wiebke.thodi.home	thodi
10.10.10.6     	cel400.thodi.home	cel400
10.10.10.7      vmware.thodi.home	vmware
10.10.10.22	server3100.thodi.home	server3100
127.0.0.1	localhost		localhost
----

/etc/bootparams:
----
server3100	root=cel400:/mnt/extra/export/vax/root swap=cel400:/mnt/extra/export/vax/swap.server3100
----

cel400 (10.10.10.6) is the boot-server, my linux box. the vax is
supposed to get server3100 (10.10.10.22). I've got no /etc/rc.conf
since I'm using a SuSE.
