Etherboot and initrd





Anyone out there using Etherboot with initial RAM disk (instead of using
and NFS-mounted root file-system)? Anyone know if it can or can't be done?

I'll be looking into this tomorrow (OK, later on today), but if anyone has
any information to make my job a little easier, I would be most grateful.

I want to use initial RAM disk because it is a little more secure than
NFS and because it is a heck of a lot faster, plus it automatically gives
me a writable /var etc. without needing write permission back on the server.
I'll still use NFS for read-only /usr, but put most other stuff onto the
RAM disk.

Cheers,

Bob Edwards.
