Re: [leaf-user] Wisp on DiskOnChip
initrd works differently in WISP-Dist, binaries contained in it are not used by system after boot is finished and initrd is unmounted. So it is not backed up. Somebody else made WISP-Dist run on DoC though - I think Bao is the one who did it (sorry if I misspelled your name). Please check the archives.

RE: [leaf-user] Wisp on DiskOnChip
I just finished an install of Bering on DoC following the users guide. It did not work first shot. Brad did point out that the nftla device is not listed in /var/lib/lrpkg/root.mount file. I did that too. I was parsing thro' Linuxrc when I saw the hack for DoC. It said the pkgpath declaration in syslinux.cfg should not be there for boot from DoC to work. I did that and I was home. I do not think this is documented in the user's manual though. I would not know if this applies to WISP too.

RE: [leaf-user] Wisp on DiskOnChip
I was using rc4 wherein nftla was not included in root.mount file. 1.0-stable has nftla in the root.mount list. On rc4, I added it to the file and backed it up. I checked 1.0-stable and linuxrc says pkgpath must be removed for booting to happen. Cannot Linuxrc be modified to say that if pkgpath= or = nftla1, go to the hack you wrote in the else statement? It felt great when I was able to boot from the DoC. Thanks Brad.

Sorry, I'm still kind of new to this whole thing.
