11 In order to use a diskless system, such as an X-terminal or printer server
12 for example, it is necessary for the root filesystem to be present on a
15 filesystem mounted via NFS. The following text describes on how to use NFS
25 In order to use nfsroot, NFS client support needs to be selected as
30 along with the types of autoconfiguration to support. Selecting all of
39 When the kernel has been loaded by a boot loader (see below) it needs to be
40 told what root fs device to use. And in the case of nfsroot, where to find
41 both the server and the name of the directory on the server to mount as root.
47 This is necessary to enable the pseudo-NFS-device. Note that it's not a
48 real device but just a synonym to tell the kernel to use NFS instead of
62 <root-dir> Name of the directory on the server to mount as root.
84 This parameter tells the kernel how to configure IP addresses of devices
85 and also how to set up the IP routing table. It was originally called
87 NFS, so it was renamed to `ip' and the old name remained as an alias for
91 assumed to be empty, and the defaults mentioned below apply. In general
92 this means that the kernel tries to configure everything using
95 The <autoconf> parameter can appear alone as the value to the `ip'
98 autoconfiguration will take place. The most common way to use this
105 <server-ip> IP address of the NFS server. If RARP is used to determine

133 <device> Name of network device to use.
141 <autoconf> Method to use for autoconfiguration. In the case of options
144 to reply is used.
172 This parameter enables debugging messages to appear in the kernel
174 NFS mount options, server address, and root path are passed to the
203 When building kernels, an easy way to create a boot floppy that uses
204 syslinux is to use the zdisk or bzdisk make targets which use zimage
206 FDARGS parameter which can be used to set the kernel command line.
211 Note that the user running this command will need to have
212 access to the floppy drive device, /dev/fd0

224 When building kernels, an easy way to create a bootable cdrom that
225 uses isolinux is to use the isoimage target which uses a bzimage
227 parameter which can be used to set the kernel command line.
233 This can be written to a cdrom using a variety of tools including
