[comp.sys.sun] diskless sun tries to get root and swap from sd

I've got a diskless 3/50 here running 4.0, and I've plugged a scsi disk
into it.  When it boots, it gets the kernel just fine from the server, but
when the kernel comes up it seems to want root and swap on sd0, instead of
the nfs ones that the bootparamsd gives.  When booting with the disk
disconnected, all works fine.  What I want is for the machine to run
diskless, but with a local disk for storage.

Any ideas?

You'll have to change the default 'generic' kernal options.  Something like:
config		vmunix		root on type nfs swap on type nfs
-tank-
#include <std/disclaimer.h>		/* nobody knows the trouble I .... */
