On my boot disk I have pointed install.cfg to the host that is running nfs. I get to "determining hostname..." and no further. On console 4 my network card has been recognized
<6>eth0: Realtek RTL8139 Fast....
<4>neighbour table overflow
[repeats]
On console 3 I have
* kickstarting through device eth0
* nodns is 0
* reverse name lookup failed
* going to insmod sunrpc.o (path is NULL)
* going to insmod lockd.o (path is NULL)
* going to insmod nfs.o (path is NULL)
* mounting nfs path 192.168.10.1:/usr/local/ftp/pub/e-smith
[end]
The host is running SuSE 7.0 and NFS is KNFS
The NFS hosts /etc/exports is
# See exports(5) for a description.
# This file contains a list of all directories exported to other computers.
# It is used by rpc.nfsd and rpc.mountd.
/usr/local/ftp/pub/ (ro)
It may be obvious that I don't know anything about NFS, but I am tring to learn. The reason my export is in ftp/pub is so that I can try a ftp install if this doesn't work. Any pointers will be appreciated. And the reason I am not doing a CDRom install is that I don't have a writer at my diposal and the designated e-smith box doesn't have a CD Player.
