- I've been playing around with NFS and such and it's working just fine, so
- I've
- tried to take NFS to it's next logical step on my 39 MB system -- NFS
- mounting
- /usr. However, 386BSD seems to think that this is just a horrible idea and
- I've had no end of trouble.
-
- If I leave the rc file intact, I get a system hang after 'starting system
- logger'.
-
- If I edit the rc file and remove all but the very basest of network
- commands, I get a hang after the rc file finishes. /usr is mounted
- correctly (as a ls /usr shows from the rc file) and the script does reach
- the exit 0 (as an echo statement shows) but it hangs after that. Once I
- did get a kernal panic error message after about 2-3 minutes of nothing,
- other times it just seems to hang forever.
-
- If I edit the rc file to hardcode my old usr directory (/oldusr) to every
- file located in /usr I get a hang after the rc file ends.
-
- I've copied /usr/distbin/mount & umount to /bin and I'm running the 0.1
- patched
- kernal from agate. Other than initial setup for various /etc/* files to
- get
- networking and NFS running, no other mods have been made to the system.
