Hi,
I can't seem to install Arch Linux on my client machine which is a Intel.dot.station computer.
For installing Arch Linux on my dot.station I connected it to my desktop using a crossover cable.
First I booted my main desktop with a Arch Linux CD in the Live Environment and then proceeded with the following steps:
1. boot an Arch Linux live medium generated by archiso via USB or CD
2. login as root
3. ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.7
4. route add default gw 192.168.0.1
5. echo nameserver 192.168.0.1 >> /etc/resolv.conf
6. pacman -Sy dnsmasq nbd
7. wget
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/archi … ver.tar.gz
8. bsdtar xf archiso-pxe-server.tar.gz
9. cd archiso-pxe-server
10. chmod +x archiso-pxe-server
11. ./archiso-pxe-server
Everything ran fine and I was able to boot from PXE in my client machine. But after I tried to install it in my dot.station i got these following error messages
...
Error: Socket failed: Connection refused
Exiting.
:: Mounting tmpfs, size=75%...done.
:: Waiting for boot device...
Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/nbd0...
Error: /dev/nbd0 found, but the filesystem type is unknown
Falling back to interactive prompt
You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished

This is my /etc/nbd-server/config file:
# This is a comment
[generic]
# The [generic] section is required, even if nothing is specified
# there.
# When either of these options are specified, nbd-server drops
# privileges to the given user and group after opening ports, but
# _before_ opening files.
user = nbd
group = nbd
[export1]
exportname = /export/nbd/export1-file
port = 12345
authfile = /export/nbd/export1-authfile
timeout = 30
filesize = 10000000

postrun = rm -f %s
[otherexport]

# The other options are all optional.
What files do I need to export here?
I tried installing several times and I get the same error messages. So guys can you tell me what am I doing wrong here.
Any suggestions and advice would be helpful for me. Thanks.
PS. I posted this question on Arch Linux official forums but I haven't got any help. I hope I am not breaking any rules by posting the same question here. But i need to get this done. I sincerely apologize if I am doing anything wrong.
