The presence or absence of the BOOTP_NFSROOT and ROOTDEVNAME= options has no effect on this behavior. It should be possible to specify BOOTP and ROOTDEVNAME without BOOTP_NFSROOT so that the kernel obtains IP-related information from the server and then mounts root from the path specified with ROOTDEVNAME. It may be reasonable and useful to use any server-provided path as a fallback if ROOTDEVNAME doesn't work (i.e., store the server-provided name in rootdevnames[1]). >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
