I just set up a TSL3 nfsrooted system (Via EPIA-M)..
I built my own kernel to get more optimum performance out of the little
box..
so, how have you set up your boot?
this is how I did it;
server;
/etc/dhcpd.conf:
...
host box.example.com {
hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
fixed-address 10.0.0.6;
option root-path "10.0.0.3:/mnt/tmp";
}
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/01-00-00-00-00-00-00:
LABEL linux
KERNEL vmlinuz-epia
APPEND init=/sbin/init root=/dev/nfs ip=bootp
and then I exported /mnt/tmp on 10.0.0.3..
to get /mnt/tmp sorted out..
# rpm --initdb --root /mnt/tmp
# swup --root /mnt/tmp --import-key \
/usr/share/tsl-gpgkeys/trustix-gpgkey.pub.gpg
# swup --root /mnt/tmp --install bash-static swup
# chroot /mnt/tmp
# swup --install what_you_need
As for your actual question..
I don't know. :)
