Yes, i configured NFS ( I hope correct) the log shows: Jan 21 09:22:55 fourty2 rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from qube:600 for /nfsroot (/nfsroot) The kernel i use is from the http://people.debian.org/~pm/mips-cobalt/nfsroot/vmlinux_raq-2800.gz, i think a special kernel compiled for the cobalt mips machines and tested. I used the howto from http://devel.alal.com/pipermail/cobalt-22/2002-July/000298.html. I read the netbsd howto, but i can not stop the autoboot loader via space key. Do i have to use a special terminalprogram ? Is it possible that you mail me your kernel ? Do i have to rename the kernel to vmlinux.gz instead of vmlinux_raq-2800.gz ? My NFS and DHCP Server is an HP9000/720 with debian-linux.
