Subject: [suse-sparc] Net booting problem with root.img

    Sorry if this is a double post, I think I may have submitted this already, but
    I never saw it in my mailing list so I don't think it made it.

    tftpboot.img file for the network bootable kernel image requires that there
    be a root.img file in /usr/src. I can't find any information on the format
    of this file or what needs to be in it so the machine can mount its
    filesystem from the nfs server. Right now to get it to boot I have to pass
    all the variables at the boot prom line (which I can't save as the default
    anyway).
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    -Isaac
