Happy New Year to all,

With lots of help from mind people on this list (remember my struggles
getting mopd to work under linux?), I am now well into netboot.

However, I get to this point and a kernel panic:

The last entry in /var/log/messages on the server is:

2020-12-28T13:51:07.796416-05:00 T540p rpc.mountd[11839]: authenticated
mount request from 192.168.2.30:1023 for /export/vax/root (/export/vax/root)

So I am not sure what is going on - can anybody help?

All directories under /export are set RW for root.

cheers,

Nigel
