Hi, Michael !
2) do you see your nfs mount if you go to another virtual terminal?
(<ALT>-F2)
Yes.
3) what is the output of "ls -l /tftpboot/pxe/dell_5.2/dsa/" on your
tftp server?
tftpboot/pxe $ ls -lt dell_5.2

4) What is the output of (iirc) "ls -l /mnt/cd" on the system that is
pxe booted? (from memory, i believe that is where it mounted the nfs
path)
yep, there's the mount-path ...
> 1) any output from "dmesg"?

Thanks&Cheers,
