I guess, what you want to do is to install a little endian system from a nfs-server, as you probably did with the bigendian system. If this is the case then you shouldn't issue the 'go . root=/dev/sda1' command, as you haven't installed the root filesystem yet. Instead you should use this command: 'go . nfsroot=<ipaddr-of-nfsserver> ....' /Carsten Nicu Popovici wrote: > Hello , > > I have the follwing problem.
