If you can get it working I'd sure like to hear about what you did to 
make it happen. I've been trying to install it for some time now on some 
diskless 386 machines and am running into the same problem.

I have got it to work (very nicely I might add) on a local disk on one 
of our 386 machines. To designate the drive as invalid just ftp
win3-nfs.zip from cica.cica.indiana.edu and run the exe file in your
windows batch file or in your autoexec.bat.
