Hi, I'm trying to setup a diskless workstation using Debian. In the not so near
future this can grow to a lab with 10 or more diskless WS's, and I'm just
exploring right now.
I installed nfsroot (it's the one in hamm as of 07/22, 0.5-1 I think), read
use.doc, and also NFSroot and NFSroot-Client howto's. So far, nfsroot looks
promising. I set up everything according to use.doc, and as far as I can tell,
everythig's OK. First I used the kernel provided by nfsroot but later I rolled
one of my own that had everythig that the howto's and use.doc pointed out. The
client boots, sends a BOOTP request, the server answers, the client gets it's
IP and mounts root... and that's it. It freezes there. I scanned the logs on
the server but there's nothing that seems to be related to this. Where do I
look for possible problems? (The server machine is hamm, as close to lastest as
my local mirror is... that would be, master.debian.org's contents as of
07/22/97 ~1200 GMT)
As far as I can remember, after printing "VFS mounted root..." the machine
should print "Switching to runlevel 4", but it doesn't. What does the machine
run to make the switch?
TIA,
Marcelo Magallon
