Re: howto setup an install server..
Thx Ben, it works when I include ip in boot command.
Now I try to setup the bootp instead of the above solution (more easy for
users).
- I started bootpd (bootptab), nfs-sever, etc.
- I just boot using "boot net"
.. Linux boot, but don't make any bootp request, and stop when trying to
mount root nfs..
- so, I decide to make my own rom (is there an other solution?) using
netboot package.. But when I try :
mknbi-linux -i rom -d rom -k vmlinuz kernel.bin myimage
I receive this message :
"Could not find magic number in kernel image." :-(
I wouldn't waste your time, but : any ideas?
thx :-) dreier.

You need to either setup a bootp server so the machines know their own
IP, gateway, dns, etc....or use the ip=.... boot option along with the
rest of the above.
