I have changed the IP address in the /etc/hosts file and re-made the YP map, and renamed the /tftpboot file appropriately, but when I reboot the 3/50 it gives 'access denied' when it tries to mount the root file system from the server - it gets the boot file OK and starts up vmunix OK, lists the configured devices, etc but craps out when it has to mount & check the root file system. The /etc/bootparams YP map shows that the machine has access to the appropriate file space on the server, as does the /etc/exports map. I just dont get it...
