Okay, I've gotten a little further by moving some of the runscripts to /etc/runlevel/boot.
I still, however, can't seem to get /usr/ nfs mounted before some of the boot runlevel daemons kick off (like keymap, etc.). I think part of the problem is I'm using OpenRC. Any way on forcing netmount init script to kick off before everything else? -j On Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 1:19 PM, James<[email protected]> wrote: > All, > > I am having a weird problem and I'm going nuts trying to figure out > what may be going wrong. > > I've followed the "Diskless Nodes" document[1] on the g.o website.
