Hi
Let's start with the content of pxelinux.cfg/file. My FAI is 4.0.8. In
the boot string is found the parm.:
nfsroot=192.168.2.12:/srv/fai/nfsroot:vers=3
The above works fine for my LAN.
BUT: In order to obtain this parm requires manual editing to insert
both the ip and vers into the text following creation of the file by
fai-chboot. I'm searching for a better approach.
I find that nfsroot for fai-chboot is supplied by the server host
/etc/fai/nfsroot.conf file. A quote from the fai-guide is as follows:
"Definitions that are only used for creating the nfsroot are located
in nfsroot.conf."
The way I find that nfsroot.conf file works is:
A) NFSROOT=/srv/fai/nfsroot
works correctly for fai-setup while creating nfsroot per the
fai-guide
B) NFSROOT=192.168.2.12:/srv/fai/nfsroot:vers=3
works correctly for fai-chboot while building a pxelinux.cfg/file.
SO -- I know A) works to create nfsroot, and B) works to access
nfsroot. Am I correct in thinking that what works for accessing nfsroot
[B] does not work also for creating nfsroot?
In looking thru FAI mail list that a similar subject was discussed a
month ago and a couple bugs are filed with debian. To modify fai-chboot
in order to supply both the prefix "ip:" and the suffix ":vers" is
beyond my comfort level. My question is:
Is there a better way already under consideration?
Thanks in advance to anyone with a simple answer.
George
