Hi Nimish. I think our setup for R2 is the same as for R1. We have them co-existing on our network. our sysadmins configured the dhcp server to serve fixed IP addresses to the Roaches, and to serve the NFS file systems and boot files. For R2 we use the boot file with tcpborphserver3, uImage-r2borph3 linked to "uImage-current" We use the NFS filesystem that is found in the git repository.
