Hi, I am following the gentoo diskless howto for PXE diskless systems
but I cant seem to stop the slave from restarting its network partway
through and losing its root fs (if I have the problem correct).

I am using "config_eth0=( "noop" )" as suggested in the howto but the
network still seems to startup, getting a new dhcp lease with a blank
rootpath=, after which init fails:

#_____________________________________________
ip-config: Complete:
	device= ... lot of text that looks ok
	...
	bootserver=192.168.1.1, rootserver=192.168.1.1,rootpath=
...
VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) readonly
...
kernel panic: - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing ...
#_____________________________________________

Hints?

Does it work if you don't start net.eth0 with the init scripts?  That
is how I got my diskless nodes to boot and they all have network
access without problems:

rc-update show | grep net.eth0
            net.eth0 | 


Cheers,
Roger
