I'm trying to set up my PS3 to netboot (with an nfsroot).
I'm using instructions at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/ps3-howto/ps3-nfs-root-howto.txt
I've
passed section 3 (using tftp) to verify network /dhcp etc. (i.e. I'm
able to tftp-get a file to ps3 from kboot's ash shell (busybox).
i'm trying to mount the nfs server as per section 4. with
~# mount -t nfs -o nolock 192.168.99.1:/target /mnt/remote
I get the following error message:
mount: mounting 192.168.99.1:/target on /mnt/remote failed
if I boot the PS3 from the HD, then I am able to mount the nfs directory.
Using wireshark, I can see the initial dhcp traffic, (and when present the tftp traffic).
the mount command doesn't open a network connection to the server,
So I have pretty much ruled out server
configuration.
running "strings" on the decompressed kboot image yeilds serveral nfs symbols, so it
appears to still support nfs mounting. (using version kboot-20080609.bld from geoff's dir at kernel.org)
I have tried googling, and searching the various mailing lists, but am stuck.
any help would be appreciated

Please see my reply to the almost identical post that was sent yesterday (Feb 16).
