Nfs-Server Address

[Wolfgang Bergbauer <wolfgang.bergbauer@ibm.net>]

I have problems in understanding the boot process of the kernel

I was not able to mount the root nfs filesystem whithout activating the
bootp support by
the kernel (then it works perfekt, but I am not satisfied :-( )
Whithout bootp support the nfs-server could not be found. How does
netboot pass the nfs-
server address to the kernel ? In the bootptab you have no entry for the
nfs-server address.
Of course you could take the source of the bootp-answer. However it does
not work.

Thanks for your help
