[Pkg-ltsp-devel] problem - 'waiting for root file system'

[Jyothi rao]

hi all,
 I am a user of ltsp.  I installed ltsp-server and used.  initially when the
client was booted, the client got the dhcp
acknowledgement and did all booting properly, but when the nfs mounting was
to happen.
the system just waited with a message 'waiting for root file system' and
then after some
five minutes, it dropped to a shell saying that '/dev/nfs' was not found.
I have found the reason for the problem and thought of sharing it

The problem was that, the scripts that built the ltsp client, expected an
argument boot=nfs.
which need to passed from the pxelinux.cfg's default file.

In the 'default' file of the pxelinux.cfg directory, the following argument
needs to be appended.
boot=nfs.
