Hi there! |

I'm in need of a network based installation for Gentoo servers. I tried to get the 2006.0 universal Installation CD booted via PXE/TFTP with nfsroot, but did not succeed :-( |

Here is what i tried so far: |

I put kernel and initrd from th CD image to my tftpserver and created an entry in the pxeconfig file: |
8 |
|
9 |
label gentoo_64 |
10 |
kernel gentoo64.d/boot/gentoo64 |
11 |
append initrd=gentoo64.d/boot/gentoo64.igz root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp nfsroot=10.200.3.112:/srv/tftpboot/gentoo64.d init=/linuxrc dokeymap vga=791 splash=silent,theme:livecd-2006.0 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 quiet |

|
13 |
At this point I tried to get at leas the Kernel and it worked. I got the kernel and initrd loaded and running. |
14 |
|
15 |
The i took all the content from image.sqaushfs and put it into the gentoo64.d directory. |
16 |
|
17 |
Well, and thats where i ended frustrated. After booting the kernel, neither any dhcp request is logged nore is there any attempt to mount the nfsroot. |

Please help! Anybody got something like that running or can point me to my failure? |
