Package: kfreebsd-7
Version: 7.2-9
Severity: wishlist

please consider adding the BOOTP, BOOTP_COMPAT, BOOTP_NFSROOT and BOOTP_NFSV3
options to the kernel configurations. without the above defined options, it
requires a bootloader to set a laundry list of variables (including ip,
netmask, hwaddr and worst of all, an NFS handle) in order to use the NFS_ROOT
features already present in the default kernels.

the only bootloader i've found that supports all of them is FreeBSD's
loader/pxeldr/pxeboot... which is not yet present in Debian.

i believe the following options added to the 486 kernel, if not the other ones
as well, would at least make it easier to test NFS_ROOT on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
using grub2, and shouldn't change the default behavior in most cases.

with those added, a crude port of LTSP should not be far off...
