No, they're not identical.  However I created it, and moved it to it's
proper place.

Being as make installkernel KERNEL=FEH seems to ignore the whole:

makeoptions KERNEL=kernel.diskless

seems to be completely ignored.

I'm unsure as to how a network boot even considers bootblocks or
loaders.  It's coming from across the network via etherboot.  Although
the etherboot client is currently on a floppy on most boxes (Bad EProm
burner).

It's a perfectly matched kernel and world.  This is what I attempted to
show by stating that the diskless box and server run on the same
filesystem.  One mounted from the other.  Server works, diskless boxes
don't.  (Yes, they've all been rebooted since then).

Problems with stable (believed to be in -current as well)

2000-08-13 Thread Rod Taylor 

My server functions properly (harddrives inside).  My diskless machines
(mounting same filesystems via NFS) are having problems.  Thanks in
advance.

bash-2.03$ top
top: nlist failed


bash-2.03$ vmstat
vmstat: undefined symbols:
 _cp_time _kmemstatistics _bucket _zlist


Occurs with both 4.0 and 4.1 (and various in between stages).  As a
related item, harddrives used in LARGE mode can cause the same problem
until changed to LBA.
