Message-ID: <9301163120@monty.apana.org.au> Organization: APANA South Australia - State mail hub Date: Sat, 16 Jan 93 10:11:26 +1030 Lines: 25 Hi, I have a 486DX pc, with 40mb only 40mb of hard disk, and am trying to get 386bsd running. Problem is, I need the hard drive to run dos for various other work-related things, so I can't just install it there. I do however have a Sun 3/60 with 700mb of disk space, that runs as a file server for the PC, and is also used for my work. I made a 386bsd boot disk, copied the kernel, mount, swapon and ifconfig from another machine currently running 386bsd, and attempted a mount -t nfs, etc. which failed. Why can't I do NFS mounts from floppy? -- Constructive responses only please, I know some people will think this a silly idea. Thanks in advance Tony
