Basically I can't get a kernel to mount root NFS. I converted the 2.2.1 kernel in the slink bootdisks to a.out and booted that, then I tried the kernels in the 2000-01-15 potato floppy test, and no go. AFAIK (and what I've been told previously on this list) my PROM boot arguments are correct.
ok boot net boot=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.42:/mount/nfs/nfsroot/goober ip=192.168.1.50:192.168.1.42 And I did install the slink base system into /mount/nfs/nfsroot/goober Am I doing something wrong here, or do none of these kernel images have nfsroot support? Could someone compile me a 2.2.1 or 2.2.14 kernel with nfsroot enabled and send it to me in a.out format? It's a sun4c (IPX) with serial console. <grumpy>
