Wilkerson) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc Subject: Using local swap with net booting Date: 5 Feb 1996 13:09:04 GMT Organization: "Purdue University Department of Mathematics" Lines: 24 Message-ID: <4f4vhg$agt@mozo.cc.purdue.edu> Reply-To: wilker@math.purdue.edu NNTP-Posting-Host: hopf.math.purdue.edu Keywords: swap, boot Cc: wilker I have an IPC running netbsd -1.1 booting off a Sparc 1+ running Sunos 4-1.3 . I have network booting working, but I would like to use the local sd0b for swapping. When I delete the swap line from /etc/bootparams on the Sunos machine, and insert a swap device in /etc/fstab on the boot image, the boot goes almost to completion, but gives RPC timeout errors to the boot host and sticks there. So, in summary, I want 1) root on remote machine 2) all swapping on local disk Help? -- Clarence Wilkerson \ HomePage: http://www.math.purdue.edu/~wilker Prof. of Math.
