Thanks for your feedback, Erik! I do have a question below...
The kernel I am using is the kernel from the DVD ISO as it is
downloaded from freebsd.org. How do I determine what modules have
been enabled and disabled in that kernel? I am under the assumption
that NFS is compiled into that kernel. We can install 8.2-RELEASE
with this kernel in VMs, but not bare metal. Is there an explanation
as to why an NFS enabled kernel would work inside a VM, but fail on
bare metal?
The kernel distributed with the ISOs is the generic kernel, so if you
have the source (it's also on the DVD) you'll find the GENERIC kernel
configuration file in /usr/src/sys/YOUR_ARCH/conf/GENERIC and you can
see what are the compile options.
You'll see these options:
options MD_ROOT # MD is a potential root device
options NFSCL # New Network Filesystem Client
options NFSD # New Network Filesystem Server
options NFSLOCKD # Network Lock Manager
options NFS_ROOT # NFS usable as /, requires NFSCL
The first one is required, this allows your kernel to mount a memory
disk device (your mfsroot), the others enable NFS. You need to rebuild
the kernel with NFS disabled.
