</div>BOOTPROMPT_OPTS is not needed in lenny or sid by default- it is because<br>
debian-edu sets BOOTPROMPT_OPTS that it was necessary to set in<br>
debian-edu installs.<br>

</div>i haven't patched the file that would make it unnecessary to set "boot=nfs" in<br>
the bootloader. will add it to the next upload.<br>
<br>
though i don't think this is really the bug Gustavo encountered- it<br>
sounded like it was *trying* to mount NFS and failing, rather that<br>
trying to mount using NBD.<br>
<br>
live well,<br>
