Re: Little endian.

I guess, what you want to do is to install a little endian system from a
nfs-server, as you probably did with the bigendian system. If this is the
case then you shouldn't issue the 'go . root=/dev/sda1' command, as you
haven't installed the root filesystem yet.
Instead you should use this command: 'go . nfsroot=<ipaddr-of-nfsserver>
....'
