Hi all, |
| 2 |
|

I got the crazy idea to boot my servers purely from netboot with their root |
| 4 |
filesystems being initramfs archives coming from tftp on pxeboot. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Is this reasonable? I tried just passing a cpio of my desired root partition |
| 7 |
as the initrd option, but it ended up using my hdd as root, I think because |
| 8 |
my initramfs didn't have a file at /init. Everyone else seems to just use |
| 9 |
their initramfs in order to boot something else, like nfs, but I've got |
| 10 |
plenty of RAM and don't really want to introduce the additional complexity |
| 11 |
and latency of NFS. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Anyone done anything like that? |

Thanks, |
