Problems getting init to run.




Hi all.
I've got a problem in getting init to start, the kernel just says:
"Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel."

I assume that the kernel somehow don't get access to the NFS-root in a way
that it can handle.
And as I understood from the kernel source, if it fails to get init, then
it'll try with /bin/sh (and some other files), and if that fails it'll
print this errormessage.

My files looks like this:
exports:
# See exports(5) for a description.
# This file contains a list of all directories exported to other computers.
# It is used by rpc.nfsd and rpc.mountd.
/tftpboot/192.168.1.200 192.168.1.200(rw,no_root_squash)
/usr (ro)
/var (ro)

fstab (on diskless compute):
192.168.1.11:/tftpboot	/	nfs	rw	0  0
192.168.1.11:/usr	/usr	nfs	ro	0  0
192.168.1.11:/var	/var	nfs	ro	0  0

inetd.conf (the part with tftp and bootp):
tftp	   dgram	udp 	wait	root	/usr/sbin/tcpd		 in.tftpd	/tftpboot
bootps	dgram	 udp	 wait	 root	/usr/sbin/bootpd	bootpd	-c /tftpboot

I used the script in the Etherboot package to build the neccesary files.

Could it have something to do with rights??
I'm running Slackware 7.1 with kernel 2.2.16.

TIA
