[comp.sys.next] Setting up a NetBoot server under 0.9

Has anyone set up a netboot server under 0.9?  We have two machines,
one with a 660M drive.  The disked machine, named scherzo, is acting as
a configuration server.  I added a host using NetManager, setting the
root=scherzo:/ and private=scherzo:/clients/allegro.  The diskless
machine is allegro.  I then used newclients to set up /clients/allegro
on scherzo.  I also set up /etc/exports to export / and
/clients/allegro.  Lastly, I copied /mach to /private/tftpboot/mach on
scherzo.

When allegro tries to boot, it gets BOOTP info from scherzo okay but
then when it tries to download /private/tftpboot/mach, it times out and
says, "File not found".  Any suggestions?  They are both on the same
local Ethernet which is a class C subnet.
