LTSP: lost in a maze of twisty little scripts, all different

[Bernd 'Siggy' Brentrup]

Hi list,

if this isn't the right place to ask this question, please point
me to the correct one.

I'm trying to save the image of a 20GB notebook disk physically
mounted in a thin client with only the network port to boot from.
My problem seems to stem from the fact that in my LAN there is
a DHCP server running dnsmasq which can't be used as the ltsp
server.  Consequently I installed ltsp-server on a box that's
used as a file server anyway. 

Up to now I've got to the point where IF-Config: eth0 complete
shows up on the client's screen, but I don't find a way to
specify the kernel parameter nfsroot=$FILESERVERIP:$ROOTPATH .

All client parameters from address up to domain are set correctly,
but I can't get around these:

| rootserver: $DHCPSERVERIP rootpath: <empty>
| filename  : <empty>

With DHCPSERVERIP != FILESERVERIP the screen fills up with

| nfsmount: need a path

lines forever.

Reading the sources led to this Subject :) 

I'm stuck and looking for a kind soul that tells me the cheat.

Thanks
  Siggy
