Hopefully this isn't a repeat, I have had some email issues :(

For the last several days I have attempted to get a live netboot image to boot. 
I continue to get the same results.

I use the following command:

Lb config -b net -net-root-path "/srv/nfs/lte" -net-root-server "x.x.x.x" 
-bootappend-live "utc=no timezone=America/Chicago"
Lb build

When the image is completed, the required kernel append option in the 
/tftpboot/live.cfg do not contain any of the server boot information, and the 
image tries to boot from a removable device.

When I configure the live.cfg correctly using:
                append initrd=/live/initrd1.img boot=live config utc=no 
timezone=America/Chicago netboot=nfs nfsroot=x.x.x.x:/srv/nfs/lte

I get the system to attempt to boot, but it fails repeating this message:
Connect: Network unreachable
NFS over TCP is not available from 10.1.3.216

/run does not contain a net-eth0.conf file

Running ipconfig eth0 does create one and from there I can ping and mount my 
nfs store with my live image in place.

When I type exit at the initramfs prompt the system kernel panics and

It seems like the live-boot is confused between what is expected either /live 
or /live/image

Can someone point me to the direction of my failure?


Building system Wheezy
Live-build 3.0~a51-1

I have these packages in my packages.chroot:
Live-boot_3.0~a35-1_all.deb
Live-boot-initramfs-tools_3.0~a35-1_all.deb

LiveCDs boot perfectly, netboots and extracted liveCDs do not.
