Hi! Is there a way to pass the information retrieved via bootp as linux kernel commandline? This would eliminate the need to have linux do bootp itself. Why do I want to avoid this? there is no usable userspace bootp client for linux 2.2.x and there is no way to use the kernel bootp client when loading network drivers from initrd. Even if there is a usable bootpc, initrd won't be able to pass the rootnfs paramters to the kernel. Why modular network drivers? Because of two reasons: use the right one out of tulip/old_tulip/de4x5 and select what becomes eth0 in a multihomed machine booted though network for recovery (different cards of course).
