Subject: NFS Mounted as root??? From: levinson@vax.sonoma.edu Date: 1 Sep 1993 17:09:21 -0800
I have the new SLS distribution (1.03) and was wondering about a few things
that I did not see or could not find in the FAQ or release notes.
First of all we have on campus a system that has alot of hard disk space, but
the workstation I want to install LINUX onto does not have enough hard disk
space to install the basic distribution. What I am hoping to do is just use a
boot disk and have the remote hard disk mounted as type nfs, and have linux
resume booting that way, if possible have the remote disk mounted as root.
If such instructions exist in a FAQ, please direct me to the information, or if
someone has any information about doing this, please let me know via private
mail. I remember someone posting a message about this quite some time ago.
Thanks!
Eric
