Adding clients under 4.0

What's even better, is when it tries to mount, it says:

    swap on server:/export/swap/ck1 fstype nfs size 0k.

So we said, "Well, the size is ok.  Why won't it boot?".

Has anyone been able to make a swap file using the -n switch to mkfile?

[[ Yeah, that message was shortly followed by a Watchdog reset and a

cycle power to it to even get the PROM monitor to talk to us.  This was a
3/50.  --wnl ]]
