Hi all, wondered if some of you might be able to help me out.

I have a 486dx40 running netbsd 1.4.2 which I am using as my netboot server.
When the vax is started, it seems to obtain it's IP and name via bootp
correctly,
(I've used bootptab on the dx40), and it knows it's root addr & path,
HOWEVER, an error occurs with nfs.

This is the output on the vax's terminal at startup:

Trying BOOTP
Using IP address: 192.168.0.100
myip: marvin (192.168.0.100)
root addr=192.168.0.40 path=/usr/export/marvin/root
nfs_open: must mount first.
open netbsd: Device not configured
...
...
(and so on ... as it tries all the "netbsd.xx" variations)


What have I done wrong?
(or ... how do I find out what I've done wrong?:))

Thanks,

Marcus
