I looked at an old Dreamcast nfs root from a long time ago and found the fstab file, and it says this: nfsserver_ip:/usr/local/dc / nfs rw,auto 0 0 nfsserver_ip:/usr/local/swap none swap sw,nfsmntpt=/swap 0 0 /usr/local/dc is the / filesystem, so swap is actually one directory up from the root. I haven't seen the nfsserver side but I assume /usr/local is exported. I hope that helps. Andy
