I'm trying to mount a root file system over NFS on a Mini2451 with the Superboot boot loader. First of all, I have to say I am distinctly unimpressed with Superboot. Compared with open source solutions like u-boot and barebox, it's a sorry excuse for a boot loader unless there's some more extensive documentation that I don't know about. Anyway, my Linux-CommandLine is: root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.2:/home/target_fs-1 init=/linuxrc console=ttySAC0,115200 ip=192.168.1.230 The boot log gets to: Sending DHCP and RARP requests Which I really don't understand because the kernel command line has a fixed IP address. Why is it sending DHCP and RARP requests? Next comes a whole series of messages: DHCP/BOOTP: Ignoring delayed packet This process repeats over and over, with the Ethernet link going down and up, until I turn off power. Any suggestions? I'm researching this on the web but haven't found anything particularly useful yet. TIA
