[syslinux] PXE boot question

[Davide]

Hi Peter,

thanks for the info. I can't find any documentation about those options
though so I'm not sure what's the syntax for them.
Can you tell me where I can find more info or give me a brief 'example' on
how to use 'nfsroot'?

Thanks, I really appreciate!
Dave
