Sorry, I have to change this number in a lot of files. Please, do
not download anything yet. The new release is temporary stopped.
I'm implementing a better nfsroot support. The first floppy is now
able to boot and to load its root filesystem from another machine,
via ethernet card.
I said "via ethernet card", because (it is true!) I also tried
to do nfsroot via ppp over serial line (a true challange).
But, strangely, the kernel refuse to do that: saying "unable to
open at least one network device". Very strange, because the
network device "ppp0" is up and running.
Does someone tried that sometime? This is a bug of the nfs
subsystem in the kernel 2.0.36?
Maybe, you will like to know that with 10r0 you can setup a ppp
link over the serial line easyly, as to solve a first-degree
equation in a single variable like a*x+b=0:
(x=-b/a, of course, if a<>0 :-) )
on the client:
# setup ppp0 DEVICE=/dev/ttyS0 IP=noipdefault
on the server
# setup ppp0 DEVICE=/dev/ttyS0 IP=local:remote
DEFAULTROUTE=y
and that you can setup ethernet cards with:
# setup eth0 CARD=ne IO=0x300 IRQ=5 IP=192.168.1.1 MASQ=y
# setup eth1 CARD=pcmcia IP=192.168.1.2 MASQ=n
and PLIP connection with
# setup plip IP=192.168.1.1 REMOTE=192.168.1.2 DEFAULTROUTE=y
and to introduce global network parameters with:
# setup network HOSTNAME= GATEWAY= NAMESERVER= ....
and to set temporary work space with:
# setup tmp KB=2000
and to setup Internet PPP with
# setup isp DEVICE= TELEPHONE= LOGIN=
and so on, for all muLinux setup's!
