I got fustrated, and trying the ip routing approach. Note that the above does not use an initrd. Using a real nfsroot system makes it easier to update. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
