[Etherboot-users] (no subject)

[Petar I. <p_...@ho...>]

hi, I'm  having some trouble with recompiling a kernel and using mknbi to 
get it to boot over network with etherboot diskette...my etherboot works 
just fine but there is something going wrong after that....I recompiled a 
linux 2.4 kernel provided with damn small linux distrobution to include 
support for "root filesystem on NFS" "IP: kernel level autoconfiguration"  
"enable bootp support" "RARP support" and "DHCP support" and also provided 
kernel level support for boot clients NIC...I then run the command:
"mkelf-linux 
--ip=192.168.2.1:192.168.2.240:192.168.2.255:255.255.255.0:D1000 
bzImage-2.4.31 --output=kernel --rootdir=nfsroot"
and place the generated file "kernel" into the 
"c\tftpd32\knoppix\boot\isolinux" folder of the damn small linux 
distrobution which I am serving via DHCP to my bootclient off of a windows 
machine...I also have same folder exported via NFS as "/tftpboot/nfsroot" 
Upon bootup the kernel begins to load successfully but halts with the 
following error:

Looking up port of RPC 10003/2 on 192.168.2.240
VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 148k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

aslo, my NFS server displays the following information:

Mountd(v1): 192.168.2.1 requests mount of /tftpboot/nfsroot.
Mount request accepted.

09:43:16 (nfsv2) lookup(C:\tftpd32\KNOPPIX, bin) => [Not found]
gc: XN-E=89% N=535872 O+=0

I try using the command:
"mkelf-linux init=kernel 
--ip=192.168.2.1:192.168.2.240:192.168.2.255:255.255.255.0:D1000 
bzImage-2.4.31 --output=kernel --rootdir=nfsroot"
and recieve the error: "init=kernel: file not found"

any feedback greatly appreciated.
