Thanks for your help, but sadly, on this version a uEnv.txt just containing; console=ttyO0,115200n8 client_ip=192.168.10.47 server_ip=192.168.10.118 gw_ip=192.168.10.1 root_dir=/home/bone/bbb_nfs_root
does not work, it doesn't even fire up the ethernet port (no activity lights), I'm guessing because there is no eth0 defined and its perhaps trying to fire up the USB network or something. I'll try the rsync method once I can ping the beaglebone G On Wednesday, 30 July 2014 03:05:41 UTC+1, john3909 wrote: > > > From: Giles Godart-Brown <[email protected] <javascript:>> > Reply-To: "[email protected] <javascript:>" < > [email protected] <javascript:>> > Date: Tuesday, July 29, 2014 at 2:26 PM > To: "[email protected] <javascript:>" <[email protected] > <javascript:>> > Subject: [beagleboard] unable to boot Beaglebone Black from NFS > > I've seen many posts about how to boot a Beaglebone black via an NFS > mounted root partition, but none seem to work with the latest version. > I started by creating an NFS mount on my Ubuntu PC and successfully > mounting it from the Beaglebone when booted from an SD image of the latest > version dated 2013.06.20 > <https://s3.amazonaws.com/angstrom/demo/beaglebone/Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.06.20.img.xz> > from > the Beaglebone site.
