fixed the dracut network module in
git://dracut.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/dracut
if you boot with "ip=dhcp", /net.<iface>.dhcpopts will contain
new_root_path=<dhcp root path option> in the initrd root.
Next steps:
- add NFS root mount to the dracut initrd
- add NFS to the server with the test/root.ext2 loop mounted and exported
- add a proper testsuite structure
Tested with:
$ sudo ./test/make-server-root
which creates test/server.ext2 with a dnsmasq dhcp/dns server
To start the server:
$ sudo qemu-kvm -hda test/server.ext2 -m 256M \
-net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 \
-net socket,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234 \
-kernel /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) \
-initrd test/initramfs.testing \
-append "root=/dev/sda rw"
Create the client image:
$ sudo ./dracut -c test/dracut.conf.test -l -f test/initramfs.testing
Then start the client
$ sudo qemu-kvm -m 256M -nographic \
-net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:57 \
-net socket,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234 \
-kernel /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) \
-initrd test/initramfs.testing \
-append "ip=dhcp rw console=ttyS0,115200n81"
