Unfortunately, they don't fully apply to my case, since I'm not PXE-booting the system; it netboots the kernel from a custom loader. So once the kernel bootstraps, I need it to obtain an IP address and then NFS-mount root. (Whoops, hit send by mistake.) That's what I was trying to achieve with the BOOTP and BOOTP_WIRED_TO options. Hm, I wonder if I could simply use the custom loader to netboot tftpboot, and then follow your instructions... Will try. >> BTW, if you ever visit the Netapp campus in Sunnyvale, California, feel >> free to say hello, because I work around the corner from there. :) Am there about once a month, will do :-) LarsReceived on Tue Jan 29 2013 - 08:17:26 UTC
