Hi,

I have tried this method but it doesn't work. Maybe I'm doing something 
wrong ?
Here is what I did :
My fai server is : 192.168.1.204
I Add in the /etc/fai/menu.lst those lines :

title Fully Automatic Installation - dhcp, nfsroot
kernel /boot/vmlinuz ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=192.168.1.204:/srv/fai/nfsroot boot=live
FAI_FLAGS="verbose,sshd,createvt" FAI_ACTION=install
initrd /boot/initrd.img

title Fully Automatic Installation - static, nfsroot
kernel /boot/vmlinuz ip=192.168.1.251:::::
root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.204:/srv/fai/nfsroot boot=live
FAI_FLAGS="verbose,sshd,createvt" FAI_ACTION=install
initrd /boot/initrd.img

I don't use for the moment a local debian mirror, so I create an empty 
directory :
/srv/fai/debmirror/

Then I ran this command :
fai-cd -f -m /srv/fai/debmirror/ cd_boot_fai.iso

I burned the iso image on a cdrom and then boot with this cd-rom on the 
client machine.


When I boot with this cd-rom on the client computer,  I have this message :
IP-Config: eth0 Complete (from 192.168.1.204)
address : 192.168.1.240   broadcast: 192.168.1.255   netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway : 192.168.1.2   dns0: 192.168.1.2    dns1:0.0.0.0
rootserver : 192.168.1.204   rootpath:
filename :
Begin : Running  /scripts/nfs-premount ...
Done.
nfsmount : need a path
Done.
Begin: Retrying nfs mount ...

And it restart searching for an ip address and trying to mount nfs root.

When I mount nfs root from my own computer it's ok : mount -t nfs 
192.168.1.204:/srv/fai/nfsroot /tmp/toto 
ls /tmp/toto :
live


I don't understand what's going on, I also don't understand why there is 
nothing after "rootpath" and "filename" ?

Have you got an idea  ?

thanks for your help,
Jean-Paul
