If you handroll a kernel with nfs-root parameters and setup an nfs share for you root, you can boot without a disk onto the nfs-root. What do you put on your nfs-root?: - The unpacked nfsroot tarball - sid baseplus tarball (under the debian directories). - nothing (You get to check if the setup is okay, though the kernel will panic when it doesn't find /) Cheers, Carlos.
