netboot via BOOTP



Hi,

I'm trying to use netboot to boot a 386 using BOOTP.  But the boot
process stops after the root filesystem is mounted via NFS.  On the
server side, I got the following message:

	tftpd: read: Connection refused

I wonder whether it has anything to do with the bootrom.  Right now my
bootrom is about 18K (ie. I cannot compress it, because the freeze
utility is not working on my system - I don't have libc.so.4).  I put it
in a floppy instead of burning it on EPROM.  BTW, is it better to burn
it on EPROM?  It looks like all you guys do it that way.

Thanks in advance :-)
Ben
