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
