I will try, but first i had to boot the machine over LAN, that's my problem
at the moment.
The RISC-Machine tells something like "Error: cannot load IPL, error
detected. Bootprocess failed..."
Perhaps you could help me, so i attach the bootptab and the dhcp-conf. Also
attached are the daemon.log and output from tcpdump. Btw., gorilla is the
server and mirage the client.
I don't know what's wrong. 
On the risc-machine i told him to boot from the lan.<hw-addr-server>.

I'll try. So, you mean i don't need the nfsroot-package named in Martin's
HOWTO?
