hi there,

I am trying "Diskless install using PXE boot"  in
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/altinstall.xml#doc_chap5.

Things installed fine. When I reboot client machine, I gets its ip from
dhcp and then I see the grub menu. I have two problems;
1- If I leave the timeout elapse in the grub menu then machine freezes,
I have to have the keyboard attached to client and press "enter" key
before time out.

2- When the client cannot all the way boot using the kernel received
from server. Somewhere it says "cannot mount root file system
Read/Write" and then it gives the prompt to enter the root password or
press C-D for normal operation. I Don't know why client cannot mount NFS
read and Write. My /etc/export file in server looks like

# /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported.  See exports(5).
/diskless/eta eta(rw,sync,no_root_squash)

as in the Diskless install document.

Any idea what's wrong?
