[uml-user] NFS Root Status

[Alfie V. <lo...@ya...>]

What is the status of NFS Root support? I search
the mailing-list but could find no conclusive
evidence that it works. Jeff reported that he go
it working but posted no examples - command line etc.

I still get the problems reported by other users -
netdevice configuration coming after IP-Config, which
prevents autoconfiguration.

here is a sample of the boot process:


IP-Config: Device `dhcp' not found.
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
