Hello, as mentioned earlier on LKML (http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/29/3) it was possible to specify the nfs-root path as DHCP option. In my tests I was unable to get this working and had a look at the old patch. It seems to me that most of the changes found the way into 2.6 mainline. But I could not figure out why it does not work anyway. For network booting it is very comfortable to specify the path as DHCP option, especially because different root-pathes can be set up automatically in conjunction with ISC DHCPD. Implementing this feature again would be a good thing, but I don't know if it is possible or if this feature was left out with intent for some reason.
