Hi, all... I have a pile (literally) of Sun 3/50's that are begging to be used
for something other than filling a closet. I only have one mouse, so I have one
of the Suns configured with XKernel, and was thinking of running NetBSD on the
other 4 (likely headless).
I am using a 486 running Linux as my file server, and have all the utilities
(bootparamd, tftpd, nfsd) up and running on it. When I started one of the Suns
up loading a NetBSD kernel, it got up and running up to the point of mounting
the swap via NFS at which point the NetBSD kernel paniced.
I was wondering if anyone out there had experienced anything similar and would
have some advice for me?
BTW, I have no disks on any of the Suns, and was planning to NFS mount both
the file systems and swap.
Thanks in advance for any help ;)
P.S. I only have one of the Suns with me right now (the one running XKernel)
but it is simple enough to reboot it into NetBSD.
