Hi,

I'm having difficulties getting nfsroot to mount "/" via a NetApp 
filer.  Are there any tricks to this, patches I need, etc.?

Here's what I'm using...

PXEConfig File:

---
DEFAULT netapp

LABEL netapp
  KERNEL linux-2.4.19smp
  APPEND root=/dev/nfs 
nfsroot=128.165.87.20:/vol/vol1/rfs/128.165.87.181,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nfsvers=3
  IPAPPEND 1

---

I have tried nfsvers 2 and 3.  I have tried tcp and udp nfs.  I have 
tried all combinations of these, and the NetApp won't mount to root 
in the kernel.

I have successfully mounted nfsroot from a Linux NFS Server with 
these options.

Also, once the diskless client is booted (via Linux NFS Server), I 
can successfully mount the NetApp file system to /mnt/tmp.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Daniel
