Hello world,

I've been trying to do an NFS-install of FreeBSD 2.0.5R,
using the Walnut Creek CDROM.  The network is working,
and so seems the NFS mount, but when the actual install
is attempted, I get the following error message:

NFS install:
Couldn't get root image from remotehost:/cdrom!
Will try to get it from floppy.

What am I missing?

Gerhard
