Comments/Problems:
I have used this method before with woody bf2.4 kernel and root floppy (from
boot floppies set).
I have successfully booted into PXE syslinux boot: prompt typed in
vmlinuz inird=initrd.gz
and pressed <enter>.
The system has hanged with NumLock unlit and caps and scroll lock flashing.
if I am pointing to another root image:
vmlinuz initrd=miniroot.gz
(from Knoppix terminalserver) then system starts up and if I pointing to same
initrd another kernel
vmlinuz-2.4.22-xfs
then I got similar error (numlock unlit, caps and scrolllock lit)
