At the boot prompt, I did the following:
linux ksdevice=eth0 ip=10.254.254.125
netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.254.254.1
dns=10.1.1.21 ks=nfs:10.254.242.33:/vol/updts/staging/CentOS_4.3/ks.cfg
I get a blue screen with
"Welcome to CentOS-4 i386"
in the left upper corner, with the typical navigation key
instructions at the bottom. It just hangs there.
I ping the IP address above, and get no pongs.
Suggestions?
