Have anybody experience with NFS root using PPP ?
I have ported 2.4.18 kernel to a factory developed 850 board.
It has two serial port but no ETH (the next version will have one).
How can I use the 2nd serial as NFS root dev?

I looked into this a year and a half ago and got to the conclusion that
ppp can't operate without the pppd userspace program. So I did a small
RAM disk that starts ppp and then use chroot to get to the server root.
This works but running everything over a serial line is slow to start.
Once things has been cached it's works quite good but you really want to
avoid rebooting :)
