Re: NET Boot problem

["R. Koirala" <ranjan@namaste.com.np>]

Hi,
Yes, I used this command to creat the /tftpboot/bootImage file 
as given on Diskless-HOWTO-8.html

  mknbi-linux -d rom -i rom -k zImage -o bootImage

 as I am trying to use the NFS so I used this command where zImage is my
actual kernel residing in /boot directory.


I used make bootrom command it asked me some questions and I answered them
all to my utmost knowledge. It created two files, I used dd command to copy
.flo file, as I am trying to boot, from the floppy, to the floppy and used
to in the client. In which case everytime the computer reboots after trying
to read the /tftpboot/bootImage file.

Any mistake on my setting pls.

TIA
KK
