I would like to try to build something like that for ppc and net
booting it, I have a lot of ram too
Peter where you thinking of writing a script to build the root system?
If you want to start a project I'm down, I know bash, perl and php.

Hi all,
I got the crazy idea to boot my servers purely from netboot with
their root filesystems being initramfs archives coming from tftp on
pxeboot.
Is this reasonable? I tried just passing a cpio of my desired root
partition as the initrd option, but it ended up using my hdd as
root, I think because my initramfs didn't have a file at /init.
Everyone else seems to just use their initramfs in order to boot
something else, like nfs, but I've got plenty of RAM and don't
really want to introduce the additional complexity and latency of NFS.
Anyone done anything like that?
Thanks,
Peter
