Re: starting Linux through tftp

There is nothing special about creating the tftp image. Just take a regular kernel and convert it from ELF to a.out format, using the elftoaout tool. The (sort of) tricky part is getting the TFTP server to serve it. I have some related information at: http://toolbox.rutgers.edu/~amurphy/fai/fai-h

It looks like it's supported (sort of), but I've never tried it. Section 6.8 at http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/ch-partitioning.en.html has a small amount of info.

Hello, is it possible to start Linux through a tftp server? I mean not the installation program, but the installed Linux itself? How can I create a tftp image and pass kernel arguments to it? Please tell me where can I find documentation on this. Thanks, Csaba
