Hartmann <ohartman@ipamzlx.physik.uni-mainz.de> Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: HELP: no NFS mount ports Date: 19 Jul 1997 12:28:43 GMT Organization: Johannes Gutenberg-Universitaet Mainz, Germany Lines: 24 Message-ID: <5qqbtr$got$1@esmeralda.zdv.Uni-Mainz.DE> NNTP-Posting-Host: ipamzlx.physik.uni-mainz.de X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 unoff BETA 970424; i386 FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:44669 While installing and trying to use diskless boot I always get the message "Unable to get SWAP NFS/MOUNT ports". The diskless client reads successfully the configurationfiles via tftp but then stops and prints out the shown message. What is going wrong? I guess the client can't find its swap file. I configured them as shown and explained in the FBSD handbook but I'm really unsure whether the shown name of the swapfile is right: swap.IP_Number. Is that right? How can I figure out which file the bootprocess expects? How to monitor on serverside the bootprocess? Another questions refers to the used gateway: we have a gateway here but the all the diskless clients are within the same subnet the server is. If anybody has any idea how the get rid of the trouble please contact me over email. Thanks in advance -- Gruss O.
