problems with booting a client

[John Sun]

I am having a problem booting a SUN 3/180 as a client off of a SUN 3/60
server.  The SUN 3/60 is running 3.5.

At the moniter prompt on the 3/180, I gave the command:

        >b ie()vmunix

I then see that the 3/180 (the client) has begun booting off the 3/60 (the
client) i.e. the client successfully downloads the tftpboot program and
appears to be booting vmunix.  At this point, I get the following error
message:

        panic: rootmount cannot mount root

Does anybody out there have any idea how to fix this problem or what the
problem is?  Any advice is desparetly needed and appreciated.
