Unable to specify root options

[Heinrich Rebehn <rebehn@comm.uni-bremen.de>]

Hi list,

I seem to be unable to specify root mount options with etherboot etherboot 5.04
and mknbi 1.2. I want the kernel to mount root fs with options

	v3,rsize=16384,wsize=16384

so i call mknbi-linux with

mknbi-linux --rootdir=/tftpboot/%s,v3,rsize=16384,wsize=16384 \
	--ip=dhcp bzImage > diskless.sys

Looking into diskless.sys shows:

..rw root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/tftpboot/%s,v3,rsize=16384,wsize=16384 ip=dhcp..

However, when i boot the client, its cmdline reads:

rw root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/tftpboot/%s,v3,rsize=16384,wsize=16384 ip=dhcp
nfsroot=/tftpboot/%s,rsize=1024,wsize=1024

Who appends the second nfsroot=... ? Is this done by etherboot? Can i disable this?

It used to work w/ older etherboot/mknbi but my new Tyan Tiger board seems only
to work with newer etherboot.

Thanks in advance,

Heinrich
