I'm using etherboot along with ltsp to make a diskless X workstation.
The problem is that the DHCP server and the TFTP server are two separate
machines. The booting machine gets the kernel image (2.2.18 from the ltsp
website) from the TFTP server fine, but it seems to autoconfigure itself
to use the *DHCP* servers IP to use for the NFS mount (it should be using
the TFTP server).
The autoconfiguration lists bootserver and rootserver as the IP of the
DHCP server. It then goes on to say
Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 'DHCP server IP'
and fails (unsurprisingly).
How do I tell the kernel which server IP to use for NFS?
I think I need to do something with mknbi-linux, but I'm not quite sure
what and how. (can you run mknbi-linux on a kernel which has already been
done?)
Thanks for any help.
