Re: Portmap help
Hi and sorry about the delay,
Banged my head against this a couple of times. Then moved aside the
chroot, and rebuilt it from scratch (diskless-createbasetgz etc.), and
everything works perfectly!
Now it's straightforward to boot NFS-root from a stock non-NFS-root
Debian image. No more building custom kernels for a diskless cluster.
And ttys seem to work (didn't under woody), so this can be used for
various types of clients beyond Beowulf nodes, e.g. user workstations.
I've put details on the Wiki:

Zeen,
Adam
