clarification on Documentation/nfsroot.txt advice

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




in Documentation/nfsroot.txt, it says:

1.) Enabling nfsroot capabilities
   -----------------------------

In order to use nfsroot you have to select support for NFS during
kernel configuration. Note that NFS cannot be loaded as a module
in this case. The configuration script will then ask you whether
you want to use nfsroot, and if yes what kind of auto configuration
system you want to use. Selecting both BOOTP and RARP is safe.




WRT the module advice - it implies that loading the module early -
via initrd, would not work.  Is that correct, or over-simplified ?
