Yesss, this works. After netbooting I find myself in the shell. The included prog's are working. Well, actually I've rearranded my desk a little bit, and while 'the X-files' are running in the background I played a little bit ;-) I was furthermore able to create a directory (/mnt) and (straightforward) I tried to mount the root-dir from the server. This works too, but whith some error-messages (RPC sendmsg returned error code 128). After setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH it was aslo possible to execute /misc/installinit/init. The following mount-request for /proc ended the program. Hope this helps, Tom
