Your kernel needs to support (options NFS_ROOT). If you can't run /boot/loader than define the rootfs in the kernel config (options ROOTDEVNAME=\"ufs:/dev/ufs/rootfs\"). My questions is: 1) we are not telling the NFS server ip address in above two options. where we will configure the server ip of NFS server in config options. -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/how-to-configure-freeBSD-kernel-to-mount-NFS-as-a-root-file-system-tp4640945p4645024.html Sent from the freebsd-arm mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
