Rixon" Message-Id: <199909192311.JAA04687@proof.maths.uq.edu.au> To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: 3.2 Release Netboot Questions Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, There are 2 basic questions I have: Im trying to compile a kernel to put on a floppy which will bootup a pc and allow it to then mount its rootfs via nfs. Problem 1: In the kernel config file there is a line something similar to: config kernel root on wd0 Is there a specification to have the rootfs via nfs? Problem 2: The kernel Ive compiled does get the pc to send bootp requests to the server and all goes well until it gets into a panic saying: Failed to set rootfs on /tftpboot (for example) I would appreciate any help/ opinions. Please email me back on ajr@maths.uq.edu.au Cheers Andrew ******************************************************************************* __________ _______________ Andrew James Rixon Systems Administrator Department of Mathematics University of Queensland ---------- ---------------- ******************************************************************************* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
