Since xend brings down the NIC to setup the bridging it makes an nfsroot impossible. so.. 1) Am I correct? 2) Any good workarounds? -JX _______________________________________________ Xen-ppc-devel mailing list Xen-ppc-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-ppc-devel
run with 2 nics, where eth1 would be used for your nfsroot?
