Hi, All
For using NFS boot, I've already edited the /etc/hosts, /etc/exports to add
the entry for my target board. The command line that I use in our EPROM
based bootloader is as follows:
root=/dev/nfs rw ip=::::::rarp console=ttyS2
nfsroot=209.243.136.151:/work/nfsroot
I need to setup the NFSROOT filesystem on the server for my target board
(which is running in Big-endian mode), what are the steps that I have to
do?
There is a FTP site for getting RPM packages for little endian mode:
tp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/[ig/linux/mips/mipsel-linux/RedHat-6.1/RPMS
I could not find similar one for big-endian. Can anybody give me a
pointer to where the RPM packages reside on the web?
Thanks,
Lisa

For big endian you need big endian complied packages, you can retrieve the debian base2_2.2.tgz
under ftp.uni-mainz.de/pub/Linux/debian-local/mips, which should work fine as nfsroot. I have some
problems with open a console beacause on Indigo2 you only have output on the serial console.

Thanks to Henning for showing me where to get the big-endian compiled
packages and it works. Now, I need big-endian compiled "ash".
Is anybody know where I can get it?
Thanks,

Lisa,
You can get either big endian or little endian NFS root fs on the following
site.

"apt-get install ash" should download and install ash. Welcome to the
wonderfull world of debian :)

Hm why you need the ash? You can give the kernel the follwing via the
commandoline init=/bin/bash.

For those interested, a small big-endian filesystem suitable for this
type of thing (and containing a static ash no less) is at
ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/mips-linux/simple/userland-0.2b
(glibc 2.2-pre based) or
ftp://ftp.foobazco.org/pub/people/wesolows/mips-linux/userland-0.1/.
See http://foobazco.org/~wesolows/Install-HOWTO.html.

As I understand, ash requires mush less memory than other shells. I am
working on an embedded system and memory is crucial to us.

Unfortunately no.
Well you are welcome to create one based on those rpms. :-) For a list of
suggested rpms for install, you can see
ftp://ftp.mvista.com/pub/CDK/1.2/latest/MIPS/install/ddb5476/
You only need to install *.noarch.rpm and *.i386.rpm packages.
