FW: Known Problems with Potato and Woody
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
The information was left out because this has mostly all been stated
in previous "bug reports". TFTP Server is Red Hat Linux 2.2.19, i386,
Using SRM to boot. Floppies come from
/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-alpha/current/, and they'rw 3.0.17.
BTW, I was mistaken in the first email. Potato does nothing but
reboot when using the tftpboot.img file included with it. The real
problem is once you get the system installed, and try to boot
nfsroot. Can't mount root fs, not on any kernel I've tried.
