I have a lot of images which boot smoothly and mount over nfs. If anyone is interested, I like to share my work with other dockstar owners: http://gitorious.org/dockstar (repo: mynas) The patchset is not very well documented/quick and dirty, but should work with some manual work steps. Most of the special board configuration is outside the buildroot tree. Only one target/device/ file is patched. Unfortunatly I got stuck at the point, where I had to configure all packages on my own. The "distributional" work is too much to overcome in rational time (after closing time) for one person. I gave one of the Buildroot "children?" or "cousins?" a try: OpenWRT. The packages are already configured to meet each other. I think buildroot is more interesting for very specialized tasks due to its generic principle. You can bloat it up to meet any of your requirements, but this costs time. In other projects, you have to follow their design, which may not work with your needs... Anyway, if someone likes to try out the combination dockstar+buildroot, the gitorious repo above would be a good starting point. Kind regards, Ossy
