Netboot/NFSroot is explained in several howto-like documents on the web, google for e.g. "Indy netboot", the nfsroot.txt in the kernel Documentation may also be useful. debootstrap is a debian utility and needed to create the NFS root tree, its manpage should explain enough for that purpose. > It is my understanding that you need a 64bit kernel to boot the octane.
