doesn't work. The kernel never leaves the "DHCP/BOOTP timeout for server"-loop unless I hand out a root-path option via DHCP. I tried your tip above, I tried setting ROOTDEVNAME in the kernel, I created a /boot.config with "-r" in it on the NFS root - all to no avail. >> Alternatively, if you don't want to create an /etc/fstab file, then >> you could put something like this in your loader.conf file: >> >> vfs.root.mountfrom=nfs:10.11.12.13:/usr/home/elars/dst > > Will try that too, but not sure if this works with our custom loader. Doesn't seem to work either.
