Right now, for bootp if you specify "sa=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" Linux uses that as the host for the NFS server (which does have the side effect of if TFTP server != NFS server, you don't boot). Are you saying your patch takes "rp=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/foo/root" ? Just curious, since I don't know, whats the RFC say about this? -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
