I have seen such a patch in some (old!) package for booting from a bootrom. Here is a lsm: Begin3 Title: netboot-nfs Version: 1.2 Entered-date: 04 Mar 1995 Description: This package allows booting of a diskless computer over a network, mounting the root filesystem via NFS and using a swap file on a NFS filesystem. It includes the necessary patches for Linux kernel 1.1.92, and tools to boot a disk- less computer. Keywords: booting, boot-rom, swap, root-fs, nfs, diskless Author: gero@gkminix.han.de (Gero Kuhlmann) jhonan@jolt.mpx.com.au (Jamie Honan) Maintained-by: gero@gkminix.han.de (Gero Kuhlmann) Primary-site: sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/system/Linux-boot 189kB netboot-nfs.tar.gz 1082 netboot-nfs.lsm Alternate-site: Original-site: sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/system/Linux-boot netboot.zoo Platform: MSDOS C-compiler and assembler necessary for recompiling boot rom when not using a WD80*3 network interface card (for which binaries are included) Copying-policy: GPL End
