I have been able to successfully (?) set up my DC to mount an NFS partition 
as root (busybox), but the file system is only being mounted as readonly - 
which is next to useless. I can't spot any configuration error, maybe 
somebody here can.

exports file on ix86 box...
/home/Adrian/nfs/initrd  	dreamy(rw,no_root_squash)  	#Dreamcast shell

kernel command line...
commandline:
	.ascii	"mem=16M video=pvr2fb root=/dev/nfs 
nfsroot=192.168.62.123:/home/Adrian/nfs/initrd 
ip=192.168.62.2:192.168.62.123::255.255.255.0:dreamy::rarp"
	.byte	0

	.end

I'm not using an /etc/fstab file on the DC at the moment - as it makes no 
difference whether I use one or not - it all still mounts as ro.

Any help?

Thanks

Adrian
