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)

insmod 3c59x for both computers (same network card, 3Com)

Computer on left - 192.168.1.1 = server address
Computer on right - 192.168.1.2 = client address

Step 2 - Activate NFS server
--------------------------------------------------
edit /etc/exports ---> / client_address(rw)

/ 192.168.1.2 added to computer on left (and vice versa for the one on the right so it can be used the same way another time)

rpc.portmap
rpc.mountd
rpc.nfsd

I tried this on the server (192.168.1.1, on the left).

These files are in SW7.1 tcpip1.tgz but not in BL3 - should I add them? I get 'not found' when I try to use them anyway.

--------------------------------------------------

Step 3 - Activate NFS client

Computer on the right, 192.168.1.2

------------------------------------------
insmod sunrpc (not needed for bzimage.big)
"can't handle sections of type 256"
insmod lockd (not needed for bzimage.big)
"error reading ELF section headers"
insmod nfs (not needed for bzimage.big)
"can't handle sections of type 3584"
rpc.portmap
"not found"

Same for pentium kernel 2.2.26 with BL2. I had 'can't handle sections of type" problems recently with some other modules, I forget which, that worked with 2.4.31 kernels but not 2.2.26 or 2.2.16. I am using the .p1 kernel since non-pentium kernels don't boot on two computers due to memory confusion. I just downloaded the modules from Steven's BL3 site.

mount -t nfs server_address:/ /mnt
Did not even try this.

------------------------------------------

Please note that both the NFS server and client run happily

Not for me yet.

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
