Just a few specific comments about diskless sun3/50's:

Loading the AFS extensions fails with unresolved symbols if you use a
kernel built from the small diskless config file, DL50.  You must add

options       UFS             # filesystem code for local disks
options       NFSSERVER       # NFS server side code

and, if you use modload:
options       VDDRV           # loadable modules

The result is a /vmunix just under 800Kbytes (vice the GENERIC
kernel, which is 1236Kbytes).

The cache manager will start without hanging provided that the cache
size is under 2000, but the workstation performance is unacceptably
slow unless the cache size is down around 1000 (measured in 8196 byte
chunks).  Swap file size was increased by 8Meg with mkfile.

The original question was "Can an afs3.2a client export /afs"?  It
works if /afs is exported after afsd has been started up, instead of
before.
