I have a mips32 based board that I need to bootp, get kernel from a server (x86), and mount rootfs on server. I was looking into PXELINUX and looks like this might be what I need... Could someone tell me whether I can use it with mips32 platform or not? If there're other tools I should be looking into, please let me know. FYI...The reason I want to do this is that the kernel on the board has a kernel boot option that is compiled in and I can't figure out how to override it using bootp...Is that possible? Thanks!

But it is possible to use bootp to load another kernel image (see http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.mips/ch05s01.html). -- mitu
