Hello,
> Add "root=nfs" to your kernel command line.
I checked with Pete and as I suspected, putting kernel parameters on the command line doesn't work as proll just drops them.
So, I made a bit of a hack:
[ian@slinky:~/tmp/js/linux/arch/sparc/kernel]$ diff -u setup.c.orig setup.c --- setup.c.orig Sat Nov 17 00:30:25 2001 +++ setup.c Tue Dec 18 19:44:16 2001 @@ -306,6 +306,10 @@ /* Initialize PROM console and command line. */ *cmdline_p = prom_getbootargs(); + + /* Hack to hard code root=nfs. */ + strcat(*cmdline_p,"root=nfs"); + strcpy(saved_command_line, *cmdline_p); /* Set sparc_cpu_model */
Now when it boots, it says "Kernel command line: root=nfs" but still, the kernel does not try and do the IP-Config/bootp stuff so it fails saying it can't find the NFS server which is obvious as it doesn't have an ip etc...
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Ian
