But if you're at least able to get a kernel booted, then this isn't really PowerPC specific. The main documentation is in linux/Documentation/nfsroot.txt. That should answer all your questions. Make sure you build NFS client support into the kernel (not as a module). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
