Hello,
While trying to set my Onyx2 to network boot, I have encountered the following issue, which I wasn't able to resolve:
Code:

The appropriate path is correctly exported from the nfs server (here: 192.168.1.4), although, the issue here is that it seems that the system can't properly initialize the primary network interface; perhaps due to the fact that they are two network interfaces in the same system, with the following hinv:

I have prom disabled the secondary network interface, but haven't observed a different behavior. My bootparams seems correct, it seems, more likely that the system cannot initialize the interface properly; although it can retrieve the kernel from the bootp server properly.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated; I believe that the nfs+bootp server is properly setup, as multiple Irix machines boot from it.
