-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 | | We might need to add i386 to that list. The question in my mind is, | does TFTP booting work at all on i386? Yes! The TFTP-Booting of the kernel workes well on i386. As described in earlier mails, it can be necassary to "extend" the images to be able to boot them (e.g. 3Com MBA, PXE), but it works well. | It's possible that it works | even if we don't have root.bin in an initrd? E.g., by loading the | root filesystem with NFS root? Yes, should do so. Booting the kernel an mounting a root fs definitly works. (thats the way my diskless workstations boot). You simply have to add the kernel parameter "root=/dev/nfs" and the kernel tries mounting the root fs via NFS. I'll try this out with boot-floppie's root.bin. | | If not, the easiest thing is to simply disable TFTP on i386... That would be very sad. I was very happy when I read abaout tftp on i386. I hate the floppy crap. TFTP is much nicer.
