Hello,

this is also possible with just one bootdisk! I am doing that...

To make that possible, you have to mount the bootdisk loopback, and extrakt the initrd from it, unzip the initrd, mount it as well and copy all the modules you need into it. If you are a little bit lucky, it fits!-) Otherwise you have to build a new one...

In the end you have to do everything in reverse order! (zip the initrd, copy it into the bootdisk...

regards thorsten

hi Joachim,

You can do this. Please read the greate manual from Anas Nashif for more informations.

You need * 3 Disks ( Boot- / Module-Disks ). * A infofile ( on the last Module-Disk) or Lilo with Bootparameters * A NFS Server with * Installationdata * Profile

bye

Alexander

Hello,

I want to install my system via nfs booting from a floppy disk.

Is this possible, i mean is there a suitable initrd with everything needed in it, that fits on one disk together with the kernel.

Best regards

Joachim
