I'm having trouble installing Win3 on a PC, using an NFS-mounted drive
as my system disk. Windows will support Novell, 3-Com, etc. Alas, no
NFS. Niether Microsoft or Sun had any suggestions.

I'm effectively trying to set up a diskless workstation. After booting from
floppy, I copy all pertinent binaries to a RAMDISK and start NFS. At this
point I attempt to install windows on a mounted NFS drive, with no success.


Thanks for any input,
