<UL>

<LI> In the Documentation directory of kernel source there is a file
|
|
documenting NFS-Root systems (<CODE>Documentation/nfsroot.txt</CODE>).

<LI> There is a BOOTP client:

|
<P>With initrd (which is included in Linux 2.0), it could be made to work
|
|
for diskless stations quite nicely. initrd is actually always an
|
|
advanced option for more customized setups.
|
|
<P>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI> For plain bootpd-based boots this is actually probably not
|
|
needed as Linux 2.0 contains also the option to use BOOTP instead of
|
|
RARP. (To be more precise, you can compile both in the kernel, and the
|
|
faster response wins.)

|
|
<LI> There is a patch floating around that allows for swapping over
|
|
NFS. It was sent to me (during a private high workload phase), but I
|
|
somehow managed to lose the mail.
|
|
|
|
<P> You can probably get it from
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.linuxhq.com/">http://www.linuxhq.com/</A> in the
|
|
unofficial-patches section.
