How did you make a boot floppy that initiates the process? I am just starting to try to make diskless systems (not to make thin clients, but to centralize software installation on a computational cluster) and am stuck. The etherboot tutorial says to cat floppyload.bin 3c905.lzrom > /dev/fd0 but the etherboot distribution doesn't contain any "floppyload.bin" (yes, I did make it) and the ROM images from http://www.rom-o-matic.net end in .lzdsk not .lzrom, which I'm not sure is the same. Is there a more up-to-date tutorial which does etherboot with boot floopies?
On a related note, the 2.2.x kernels must be built with an "allow root to mount over nfs" option to get this to work, but this option appears to be gone from the 2.4.x kernels. Is it unnecessary, or just hiding?
