I use this commandline to the kernel, so it uses dhcp to configure ip
and nfs root path:
nfsroot=kernel nfsaddrs=kernel root=/dev/nfs ip=::::zembla::dhcp
But you can specify manually in ip=
st zembla {
hardware ethernet 00:04:76:19:0c:0c;
fixed-address 192.168.0.15;
filename "zembla";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option root-path "/var/diskless/%s";
}
Regards.
