Regrettably, this advice isn't good enough. There are other messages (one or two from me) that deal with this issue. I populate, but then when I want to get my client to boot, it only get so far. In fact, the text of the related message goes like this: "However, at boot time I get the following: Boot-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy VFS: Cannot open root device "nfs" or 02:00 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:00" There never was a satisfactory reply to this that I remember.
