We have a SUN2 running 3.2. We have tried to boot a 3/60 client running 3.5 with its root on the server. It gets to the point of saying: setting sub net mask ... and then hangs. Ping says the client is alive. Other clients with their own local root partitions talk to the server without problems. 3.4 has on the client has the same result. Is there an incompatibility between 3.2 and 3.5? The client has its own scsi disk which contains local files and part of the swap area (which is another issue). I have discovered that you cannot swap local and have the root in an nd partition. If you do not have some swap space in an nd partition then at boot time it cannot mount the root. Is there a solution to this problem?
