Hi there,

I'm having some slight problems with a diskless install. Here are the
basics:

Client - Sun Sparcstation 5 remote booting from TFTP (TFTPBOOT.IMG file
from the Debian 3.0 CDs).

Server - Redhat 7.3 box running RARPD, TFTPD, NFSD etc.

The sparcstation gets the installation image from TFTP, and mounts the
debian-sparc-root over NFS okay. In the installation tips it mentions
that you have to enable NFS locking so that packages can be properly
installed. There are a few steps that are followed, ending in starting
portmap and rpc.statd.

Portmap appears to start ok, but starting rpc.statd looks like it fails
with the following error:

rpc.statd[166]: Version 1.0 Starting
rpc.statd[167]: unable to register (statd, 1, udp).

The only things I've found on the net have related to services not
running on the server, or not having r/w access to the root filesystem.
Nothing I've found so far has helped. I can provide more information if
necessary.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Oliver.
