I'm tring to compile debian-installer to be able to boot via the network. The goal is to try it on an alpha, by my first steps are on an i386 as it is much faster.
I made the "build_netboot" target, I think the word netboot is misleading, because I got a mini.iso file : "tiny CD image that boots the netboot installer". But what I want is a net-BOOT not a net-install.
It also produces two files named initrd.gz and vmlinuz, which (supposedly) can be used together to netboot an i386 machine. I'm not sure of the exact semantics of this, personally.
Then the manifest is wrong. And vmlinuz is not bootable "as is". You must modify it to make it an etherboot file or a PXE boot file.
You does not need to modify vmlinuz for netboot. You may use something like syslinux to boot it.
