diskless computer

[Helmut Pitters <HelmutPitters@gmx.de>]

Hi all,
iīm new to this list, so i donīt know if you can help me.

(my entire problem deals with the Linux OS)

I have got a NFS-Server and following the hints of the
"Diskless-Computer-HOWTO" i was able to export directories and to mount
them via NFS from the server itself (i did this only for testing).

I also made a bootdisk for my Diskless Computer according to the HOWTO.


The following happens when i boot the DC with the bootdisk:
(Server-IP: 192.168.0.199; DC-IP: 192.168.0.8)
----------Here it starts----------
.
.
.
(Loading kernel)
.
.
.
(My DC gets itīs IP from the NFS-Server via BOOTP)
.
.
.
Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 192.168.0.199
Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 192.168.0.199
Root-NFS: Server returned error -13 while mounting /tftpboot/192.168.0.8
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy
VFS: Insert floppy and press ENTER
----------Here it ends----------
Yes, there exists the directory /tftpboot/192.168.0.8 on the NFS-Server
(for testing i even exportet /)and i exportet it without specifying a
Host which can mount it, so everybody should be able to mount it (i
thought).
I copied the whole Root-FS of a Diskette-Distribution of Linux
(Pocket-Linux) to this directory.
I am able to mount this directory from the NFS-server.

Perhaps someone of you can help me.

Thanks in Advance,
bronko.
