Hello. Trying to get a sparc64/sun4u system to work as a diskless client (with an Armbian Linux as server-side part of the etup), I noticed some outdated sections in the Diskless how-to. The NFS subsection (http://www.netbsd.org/docs/network/netboot/nfs.html) indicates that "/export/client/swap" should be exported as a diretory, but this does not make sense since "/export/client/swap" is the actual swap file. The files subsection (http://www.netbsd.org/docs/network/netboot/files.html) notes that /etc/fstab should contain a entry like "nfsserver:/export/client/swap none swap sw,nfsmntpt=/swap" but according to diskless(8) the entry should be like "/swap none swap sw 0 0" which seems to work better. Comments on this? Regards Palle Lyckegaard
