[Gllug] nfsroot problem

[Adrian McMenamin]

I am trying to mount an nfs share as the root filesystem on my
Dreamcast, but I am having problems... my fstab says this...



192.168.62.123:/home/Adrian/dc-down/initrd  /  nfs
defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 0
proc    /proc     proc    defaults 0 0

and my kernel command line this...

commandline:
        .ascii  "root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=192.168.62.123:/home/Adrian/dc-down/initrd
ip=192.168.62.11:192.168.62.123:192.168.62.123:255.255.255.0:dreamy::"


But all I end up doing is mounting the initrd filesystem. A manual call
to mount -a doesn't fix it either, though I can do this sort of thing:

mount -t nfs xx.xx.xx.xx:/nfs-directory /mnt

Anyone have any clues or know of a good web based resource (googling
hasn't turned up much). The active developer community on the DC has
more or less ceased to function (for most of the last year it was really
mainly me in terms of new kernel drivers anyway) so there aren't many
active DC gurus out there any more...
