Hi all, I have a lot of servers on order, so I want to be able to just 
network boot them as a jumpstart into the installation (which will then 
be scripted).  I am most of the way there.  I have tested my NFS shares 
and if I boot a boxe off a cd, I can do the nfs installation without 
fail.  I have setup pxeboot, and if I am far enough along that when I 
boot off the network, it tftp's the files it needs, boots through menus, 
loads the generic kernel, mounts an nfs root, then errors.  The errors 
are "exec /sbin/init: error 70".  One error for each attempt at an init 
file.  Then it gives me an "init: not found in path 
/sbin/init:/sbin/oinit......"  Then it panics and reboots.  There is so 
much I've done, I'm not sure what specifics anyone might need to offer 
some assistance.

Chris
