I'm having trouble booting a diskless monochrome Vax Station 3200 off
of a uVax II running 3.0.  It down loads the operating system fine,
recognizes its devices, mounts root, mounts swap, and hangs.  The last message
states the swap size: 32000+ blocks (16M).  Both /var/diskless/dlenv0 and
/var/diskless/dlclient0 are in the same physical partition.  Further,
I have a symbolic link from /var/diskless to /home/machine/diskless.
The server has two ethernet interfaces, but I ran dms with only the
client net interface configured (I also took the other internet address out
of yp and the local /etc/hosts).

I have tried the /etc/exports fix posted by Hurf Sheldon at Chris
Siebenmann's suggestion.  It didn't seem to help.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
