I've had JReceiver running on one of my Mac OS X Server machines for a while, using the 'nfsserver.jar' Java NFS server from RioBoot (primarily because I couldn't get it to work immediately with the Mac OS X NFS server, and didn't want to figure out what was wrong). Now I actually need to use the real NFS server on the machine (which is running Mac OS X Server 10.3), and I can't get the Rio to boot from the /tftpboot/IPADDRESS that I've exported to world. It gets to "Found Music Server", blanks its screen, and then immediately returns to "Searching for Music Server".

I suspect the problem has to do with the /dev files somehow, but when I mount that volume from a Linux machine, they look like perfectly reasonable device files...

Anybody have any idea how I could fix it?

Thanks...

If it gets to "Found music server", then it's probably mounted the NFS mount. There's either something wrong in the mount permissions, or there's something wrong in the mounted image.

I don't know how you configure NFS on OS X, but my page explains how to configure the Linux NFS server. Note that you need to have (no_root_squash) on the mount point, otherwise the /dev files don't work. The (insecure) allows for connections from port numbers > 1024, and the (ro) is obvious.
