Hello everyone !. Several days ago I started to read and configure 2 virtual
environments, one acts as a server running dhcpd, tftpd-hpa and nfs and the
client which would boot from network and start a system using the remote
nfs. I succeded doing this so I decided to test something else. My idea was
the following :
1 - Build system images using mindi (mindi builds iso images of your running
system)
2 - Try to boot from netowork using the mindi images located int the nfs
server. (Is this possible ?)
So my simple question is : How do I setup the conf file to instruct the
bootloader to start from que iso image. My old configuration (the one that I
used to test the first time) for booting was :
DEFAULT linux
LABEL linux
KERNEL vmlinux
APPEND initrd=initrd rootfstype=nfs root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.1.0.1:/
ip=dhcp
This would be really useful information, so if I get it working I can
complete a doc describing step-by-step how to setup everything and get it
working. Maybe could be posted in the
wiki.
Thank you very much,
Lucas Liendo.
