Thanks! thanks very much! If you can read my message, i hope, i have the answer to my question. The pontuation, well, here in Brasil, we don't worry about that in mailing lists... informal mail. But i know that help to understand. I fix my problem changing my /etc/fstab. I don't know why loader force the rootdev to disk1sa1. The boot2 and the etherboot image don't do that. Then, i did changed my root fs in /etc/fstab to point to nfs server, and works. Thanks again.
