Hi to all,

 I'm trying to install PXE boot + NFS for diskless boot for Linux system. So
everything looks fine until I tried to use other NFS server to mount root
file system.

 

So I try just to change parameter in pxelinux.cfg files 

Append nfsroot=to_new_nfs_server:/new_root_dir

 

But in boot process I received rootserver: TFTP/DHCP server rootpath:
<empty> 

                                                            Filename: right
one : and so on :.

So I read documentation for dhcpd3 server and set option to the client 

                           Root-path: to_new_nfs_server:/new_root_dir

 

And reboot the node again 

New result was: 

  

rootserver: TFTP/DHCP server rootpath:  to_new_nfs_server:/new_root_dir

                                                            Filename: right
one : and so on :.

 

So root server still remain unchangeable 

 

I tried to recreate with mkinitramfs again initrd.img with options NFSROOT =
to_new_nfs_server:/new_root_dir

 But to result is still the same 

 

Systems for server and for node are Debian Etch 

 

So anybody know how to mount nfsroot from other nfs server ? 

 

Thanks in advance 

    Georgi
