Hello,
Sorry to bother you all with this, but I'm having trouble getting my
ROACH to mount the network file system. I followed the guide, and the
DHCP seems to work as well as the TFTP portion. However, when it's
time to mount the root file system, I get:
Sending DHCP requests ., OK
IP-Config: Got DHCP answer from 192.168.0.1, my address is 192.168.0.8
IP-Config: Complete:

I've tried googling a while on the "error -13" message and see that it
means that my nfs server is saying access denied. However, I can't
figure out why this is.
I've tried doing chmod -R 777 /srv/roach_boot/etch but no change.
My /etc/exports file is as follows:
/srv/roach_boot/etch 192.168.0.0(rw,subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure)
I've also tried exporting /srv/roach_boot
$sudo exportfs
/srv/roach_boot/etch
192.168.0.0
/srv/roach_boot
192.168.0.0
I appreciate any help solving what I'm sure is a silly linux problem.
My server is debian lenny if it matters.
Thanks,
Glenn
