Re: NFS Install confusion...
The bootfloppies are at the same location as the tftpboot.img file -
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/disks-mips/current/r4k-i
p22/
in the images-1.44/ directory, however, they appear to be downloaded with
the tftpboot.img when a network install is chosen. There is no
documentation in the disk-mips/ directory tree, however, if that's what
you're looking for - all files in this tree are binaries, save for the
kernel-config.
Make sure you have the dhcp, tftp, and bootp servers enabled in your
/etc/inetd.conf on your bootp() host, and that your filename option in your
/etc/dhcpd.conf is set to "filename=/$dir/tftpboot.img" (substitute $dir for
the location of the tftpdboot.img file).
