Re: [nwst-dev] howto setup a cross compiling toolchain

Hi Thomas,

thanks for your really detailled howto. - That's almost exactly what I
did, and if I had had this two weeks earlier, it had saved me ~10 hours
of figuring things out myself ;-( - Nevertheless, I believe I learned
quite a bit, doing it the "hard" way. ;-)

Now I'm still stuck with the way ltsp normally boots using a /linuxrc
script that resides (with optional modules I don't need for a monolithic
kernel) on an initrd. - See my posts yesterday.

By the way, what is an initrd good for, if I don't need it to load
modules right after boot?

Can't I make things way easier, if I take the LTSP /linuxrc and
put it into my nfsroot? - Looking at the hardware provided in the
NS1000, a monolithic kernel should suffice always, even if all possible
hardware support is compiled in.

Is it enough, to copy the /linuxrc to the nfsroot an pass the
"nfsroot=3D/some/place init=3D/linuxrc" parameters to the cmdline? - That
would be easy.

-> Some hints if this is feasible and how to do it would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks

Stefan.
