Bright minds,
1. Once upon a time there was an option in Linux kernel that was called "Root file system on NFS" or something like that. I cannot find this option in either openSuSE or SLES10 kernels. Has it become an integral part of Linux NFS implementation or has it been removed entirely (can hardly imagine that would be the case)?
2. I'm looking for a definitive, clear directions (howto) on how to build a Netboot setup. I.e. how to netboot a SLES/openSuSE computer off another SLES/openSuSE machine using PXE/DHCP/TFTP/NFS combo with root file system residing on NFS. (I find a lot of info on how to perform a network installation, but not how to netboot a computer). There is a good howto for Gentoo can be found here http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/diskless-howto.xml. But this howto is quite old and difficult to "translate" to modern SuSE systems.
Thanks! -- Warm regards, Michael Green
Try this page, that should work (only you needn't set virtual machine, it work with real machine). http://en.opensuse.org/PXE_Diskless_Node Only what need additional attention is set bootloader to none, because you use to boot PXE instead of any bootloader.
