The IP problem I have sorted out. Given fixed IP in dhcpd.conf to machine1 along with
the HW addr.
However regarding the kernel image not mounting root I think this is because of rdev.
In the diskless-howto they have specified to create a nfsroot device /dev/nfsroot with
major no. 0 and minor number 255 and then use rdev on the kernel.
rdev /tftpboot/kernel /dev/nfsroot
After doing this the kernel boots and then during mounting of root the nfs server
returns error code 13 to the client, cannot access tftpboot. Though /tftpboot had got
rwxrwxrwx rights. In fact the kernel is also in the same dir and it boots from the
same dir.
How should I use rdev for this ?
Can you help me on this ?
Thanks in advance.
