Setup NFS root filesystem
This setup assumes the following:
- the target system has Ethernet support built into the kernel
- the target system is on the same network as a Linux workstation
- said network includes a DHCP server
Kernel Support
Make sure you have the following options turned on in the kernel:
CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP=y CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y
Then, add the following to your kernel CMDLINE:
ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=<nfs server IP>:/path/to/nfsroot
Workstation Setup
Don't forget to setup your workstation
(edit /etc/exports to contain something like the following)
/path/to/nfsroot *(rw,no_root_squash,async)
