Hi,

sorry to keep bothering you guys.

I've been able to boot my machine with a boot disk I built using
"attach linux; linux-boot-floppy" and get past the NFS setup screen.
But then I get the error message "I could not mount that directory
from the server", and I can go no further.  I notice that the link
LED on my ethernet hub does not light up, which I believe indicates
that my machine does not even try to contact the server. Any ideas?

thanks,
Ben Haid
