Does anyone know the list of files which must be included on a floppy or
on a hard disk in order to bring up 386bsd as an nfs client?  The notion
here would be to create a bare minimum floppy or hard disk partition that
would permit booting the system and then mounting two nfs partitions -- a
partition for swap -- and a partition for the rest of 386bsd.  Ultimately
I'd like to create local swap partitions -- but for the moment I'd like
to try some distributed processing in a room full of 486-33's w/ wd8013's.

Thanks, AJ
