Yes, there's a hardcoded limit in the kernel config that you can change. |

With the sizes you're mentioning, however, I'd be prone to just using a |

NFS root so files go across the network on-demand instead of shipping |

A more general discussion of netbooting ideas and implementations would |

fit right in on the gentoo-cluster list, which you should definitely |
13 |
sign up for if you aren't there yet. I'd like to hear more details on |
14 |
your setup(s). |
