Add NFS root support.
It is now possible to PXE-boot the Slackware Live Edition.
Extract the content of the ISO to (for instance) a new directory
called 'slackware-live' below your TFTP server's /tftproot directory
and then add lines like this to your pxelinux.cfg/default file:
label liveslak
kernel slackware-live/boot/generic
append initrd=slackware-live/boot/initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw printk.time=0 kbd=us tz=Europe/Amsterdam locale=us_EN.utf8 nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/tftpboot/slackware-live hostname=pxelive
Two new boot parameters have been added to support a NFS root:
* nfsroot => mandatory parameter defines the IP address of the NFS server
and the path to the extracted content of Slackware Live Edition.
* nic => parameter defining the driver for the network card (optional
and usually not needed because UDEV will figure out the driver for you),
the interface name (optional),
the IP configuration method (static IP or DHCP),
and in case of a static IP, the required parameters ipaddress, netmask
and an optional gateway.
Note that the 'nic' parameter is optional if you have a DHCP server in
your LAN: Slackware Live will figure out what the interface name is.
Syntax of these parameters:
nfsroot=ip.ad.dr.ess:/path/to/liveslak
nic=<driver>:<interface>:<dhcp|static>[:ipaddr:netmask[:gateway]]
Example use of these parameters:
nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/tftproot/slackware-live
nic=auto:eth0:static:10.0.0.21:24:
nic=:eth1:static:192.168.1.6:255.255.255.248:192.168.1.1
