Booting Debian from NFS (using EFI PXE GRUB)

Hey! As kind of a network-wide fallback system (and for some diskless computers in our network) I'd like to set up EFI PXE boot for a simple Debian system. However, I have only been able to find very sparse and possibly outdated information on how to actually tell the kernel/initramfs to mount

Re: "Failed to start Create System Users" when booting Debian 10 rootfs from NFS mount.

Hi, A suggestion: we've had issues in the past, where on NFS root the issue was that setting "Linux Capabilities" (setcap) fails, because NFS does not support the extended attributes to store them. Perhaps that is your issue as well? MJ Op 16-08-2022 om 21:58 schreef Lie Rock: Hi, I'm try
