the dmesg printed to screen on a terminal as booting ends with these errors: SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable Mounting root filesystem 192.168.1.255:/ at /sysroot If this appears to hang, check that the server of 192.168.1.255:/ is able to reverse map my IP address 192.168.1.12 to obtain my hostname client_192_168_1_12 mount: nfsmount filed: Bad file number nfs: mount program didn't pass remote address! mount: mounting 192.168.1.255:/ on sysroot failed: Invalid argument sucessfully obtained IP address via wired link [eth0] FATAL ERROR: failed to mount root filesystem ~reboot~ so it sounds like the terminal is not getting told whear to acess its /sysroot on the server, the ip address of the server, and is not being given permission to mount it. So where do I go to begin to make this work?
