Re: Problems with HardHat/NFS root filesystems

In message [ref] you wrote:

Thanks, Wolfgang, for your response.  It helped somewhat.  Here's what I
discovered:

1. I am also unable to run ash.static

Then shread libs are not your primary problem.

2. I forgot to mention another error message (actually, I thought it was
trivial but it's not), I also get a "Warning: unable to open an initial
console" error message.

OK - that's a different issue, then.

In /etc/exports, I export the volume as /opt/hardhat.....

However, when I do an "exportfs -av" the exported volume shows up as
/usr/opt/hardhat.....
I specified /opt/hardhat... in /etc/dhcpd.conf

I think, therefore, that NFS is not allowing access to the proper
directories, and that's why it can't find an init (or a /dev/console!)

Am I on the right track?

I think so - most probably your target can't see the files it  needs.
You should be able find out by running some network analyzer (tcpdump
might be enough for the job; ethereal will make it more convenient).

The quick test is to fix your configuration and try it out :-)
