For sure it does help, and in fine this works with nfsroot -for me for sure
:-)), but requires a NFS server. I wish I could set this up without NFS,
even if using an initrd.gz is a good idea since it might allow to have
read-only nfs -Am I wrong ?
But... is there a way to ftp a initrd.gz ? How could this be achieved ?
