Hi to everybody ...
Old linux kernels used to have NFSROOT option ... I'm having some
fifficulty from 2.0.36 on ... (BTW I only noticed the option but never
used it, nor wanted to, until now ...  that I need it ... cant find the
frigging thing)
Looked under /usr/src/linux/fs/nfs and found nfsroot.c   but found no
reference to that in user menuconfig interface for configuring kernel ?
Looked alco in .configure for something like NFSROOT but found nothing
... even in the commented lines.
tried also strings on kernel image to see if anyting like nfs ... but
gor no useful info.
what should I do in order not to see the kernel panic message "unable to
mount root" while booting from network on diskless pc ?


NFSRoot is still there - I can't remember where though.  Try a make xconfig?
