for now here what is working:

server boot from pxe
server load kernel and initrd from tftp
live system start and then die at the initramsfs prompt, last error:

+ panic Unable to find a medium containing a live file system



Is there somewhere some details about the process of the live system 
because the logs do not help me to find the issue.
For me it should start my init-premount script that permit to see the 
AOE target and then continue but it seems to fail before that. Is there 
anything done between ? Is init-premount the right place for aoe ?

Jean.
