[nwst-dev] Netstation and Gentoo / NBD?

[Timo A. H. <tim...@gm...>]

Hi all,

after fighting with creating a cross compiler I finally made the kernel
patches of Jochen to work and, to my surprise, I could even boot a
gentoo installation over NFS (having a stage1 tarball as nfs share).

However, I'm stuck with the ppc gentoo variant since i miss the mount
binary. Maybe I get a response from the gentoo guys, but one thing which
interests me even more is:

Anybody fiddled around with NBD? nbd is a driver which emulates a block
device over a network, therefore, the netstation could boot completely
over the net and maybe running gentoo linux via the nbd stuff. Anybody
knows something about this?

cheers,
 Timo
