I have got only one linux machine here. ie.: this linux redhat server. I am currently trying out remote booting using etherboot on one of the diskless client using floppy booting.

My entire configuration looks to be correct. Above I have given the output of my configuration.
I am using dhcp server here. My /etc/dhcpd.conf file contains the following :


--------------------------------------------------------------
subnet 192.168.20.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
     range 192.168.20.61 192.168.20.99;
     default-lease-time 60000;
     max-lease-time 72000;
     option broadcast-address 192.168.20.255;
     #option routers 239.252.197.1;
     #option domain-name-servers 239.252.197.2, 239.252.197.3;
     option domain-name "edp";
}
 
host rajeshpc {
        hardware ethernet 00:40:95:22:90:95;
        fixed-address 192.168.20.61;
        filename "/tftpboot/kernel";
      }               
--------------------------------------------------------------

I am surprised to see that kernel boots from the same directory /tftpboot and then why while mounting root filesysetm I am getting error ?

Am I doing something wrong.

Thanks again for the help.

Regards

Rajesh
