SubjectRe: nfs root and default gateway problem (2.1.26)
In article <199702151823.VAA13794@gemini.yars.free.net> you wrote:
: but the server IS on the local network... I looked in nfsroot.c
: and it appears netmask has the value INADDR_NONE = 0xffffffff,
: thus the check for local network always fails.

It is my fault. I honestly believed that INADDR_NONE==0 8)8)8)
I beg pardon for troubles. One-liner that should fix the bug is appended.
Please, report results. Note that, I have no information about
nfsroot status after 2.1.15, so that your report would be very valuable.

Alexey Kuznetsov.
