Er, say that again? Right now, for bootp if you specify "sa=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" Linux uses that as the host for the NFS server (which does have the side effect of if TFTP server != NFS server, you don't boot). Are you saying your patch takes "rp=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/foo/root" ? Just curious, since I don't know, whats the RFC say about this?
