I've been doing some work on one of my old laptops and needed
some extra workspace, so I fed it a network filesystem (NFS)
from my desktop. Here's how:

Step 1 - Establish a TCP/IP network between the two computers
-------------------------------------------------------------
activate the network cards on both computers (insmod)
assign address to each card (ifconfig)
check the connection (ping)

Step 2 - Activate NFS server
--------------------------------------------------
edit /etc/exports ---> / client_address(rw)
rpc.portmap
rpc.mountd
rpc.nfsd
--------------------------------------------------

Step 3 - Activate NFS client
------------------------------------------
insmod sunrpc (not needed for bzimage.big)
insmod lockd (not needed for bzimage.big)
insmod nfs (not needed for bzimage.big)
rpc.portmap
mount -t nfs server_address:/ /mnt
------------------------------------------

Please note that both the NFS server and client run happily
on the default BL3 kernel. Three modules are required for
the client (but not the server) when the default kernel is
used. When the big kernel is used, no modules are required
for the client.

Cheers,
Steven
