<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am exploring the nfs boot of Fedora
3 for x86 platform. I have two x86 m/c. One(host) is loaded with FC3 .
The other (target) has only blank IDE flash dive. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My plan is : </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1.Prepare kernel image "at the
host for the target". (Pls note that host and target both are x86.
)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2.Prepare file system "at the host
for the target". </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3.NFS mount the kernel image and the
file system at host.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">4.Connect the flash to the host burn
the flash with kernel image</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">5.Connect the flash to the target and
power on the target. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">6.The target will, download the image
from the host; mounts file sys and boots. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The flash should have some boot loader
like u-boot along with the kernel image. I am not sure whether bootloader
+ kernel image can be mixed together and put into the flash. The other
solution may be to put only the bootloader onto the flash. When the target
is powered on with the IDE flash, the (boot loader+ kernel image) OR (the
boot loader) should start up the x86 platform. Pls note that the kernel
image, file system etc are kept on the host system by nfs mount.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Any pointer to the above will be of
great help.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks, </font>
