You don't need nfsroot compiled into the kernel anymore for nfsroot-like setups, instead you can mount the root filesystem via nfs from the initrd-filesystem. Look at fai >3.2 or directly at (the manpage of) update-initramfs to see how it's done. Another option is of course to build your own kernel packages with nfsroot compiled in - but I seriously doubt you'll need this. Therefore I tag this bug wontfix. It's also highly unlikely that a kernel package, which just has nfsroot compiled in, will be accepted into Debian, due to the high maintainance cost of security updates and because a workable solution exists. regards, Holger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
