Yes, there's a hardcoded limit in the kernel config that you can change. With the sizes you're mentioning, however, I'd be prone to just using a NFS root so files go across the network on-demand instead of shipping whole initrd's all over the place unconditionally. A more general discussion of netbooting ideas and implementations would fit right in on the gentoo-cluster list, which you should definitely sign up for if you aren't there yet. I'd like to hear more details on your setup(s). Thanks, Donnie
