I found out that I can view the init script from /boot/initrd.img-* via a procedure like: $ mkdir -p /tmp/initrd $ cd /tmp/initrd $ cp /boot/initrd.img-<rest of your filename> ./initrd.gz $ gzip -d initrd.gz $ cpio -i < initrd After that the contents of the initrd are going to be unpacked into the /tmp/initrd directory. But that is not the same initrd used on the LTSP client, is it? If so, there is no mention of nbd anywhere in its init script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
