From: keane@eng.umd.edu (Christopher Matthews Keane) Subject: Modifying boot floppy to mount / via nfs Date: 25 Jun 1993 15:53:56 GMT
Is there a quick an dirty way to create a boot image which boot Linux
up and then mounts the root partition via nfs from another linux box?
I have been reading about setting up bootpd, etc.... but am wondering
if this may be a better way for our lab usage....
We have a 486-50 with 8 Meg RAM and 13 386-33 with 4 Meg RAM. I will
primarily be using Linux for teacher workshops on FTP, Telnet, Mail,
and News.... so I will only need to boot up linux on the system and
have it nfs mount root from either the 486 or a dedicated 386 -- we do
not have the money to spare the 40+ Meg HD space for installation on
each system....
Any help and or advice is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
