Hello,

> Add "root=nfs" to your kernel command line.

Ah, never thought of that one!

Doing: 
ok  boot net root=nfs
Still fails, but at the top of the boot sequence, it says:
Kernel command line:

So it doesn't look like the prom is passing it to the kernel - is there
another way?

I'm using dhcpd for network booting, is there something I can put in
dhcpd.conf to pass the parameter in?

I have this now:

ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
deny unknown-clients;
allow bootp;

 subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
 {
   option routers 192.168.0.1;
   option domain-name "ichilton.local";
   option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
 }

 group
 {
   host taz
   {
      hardware ethernet 08:00:20:94:77:a4;
      fixed-address taz;
      filename "C0A80015.SUN4M";
      server-name "192.168.0.11";
    }
 }


Thanks!

Ian
