A coworker of mine set up a Linux box to be able to export miniroot, etc.
via NFS to my Sun 3/60. I am actually trying to boot from the boot-tape and
then install miniroot on my hard disk from the network, but I cannot access
the files. I can mount the partition on his machine but cannot read or write
anything, even though the permissions on the Linux machine should allow for
this.
A second (or rather first) complication with this project is that I cannot
copy the miniroot from the tape, which is the first thing I tried. I can
boot successfully from it, and control it with mt, but I cannot read from
it.
Any suggestions regarding these or perhaps other methods for installing this
would be appreciated.
Patrick
