Thanks for your response. I think you missed my previous post. I have gone
through all these stages. I used PXE of my machine bios and syslinux in the
server. I am able to load the kernel and machine comes up.  I want to get a
root file system from the server instead of a local or nfs root file system
when the kernel tries to mount root file system.
