None. It is done completely in userspace. DHCP with something like dhclient,
udhcp and the like. Google for root on NFS.

Patches shouldn't be necessary for either of these features.

Check out Documentation/nfsroot.txt.

Kernel options.

[Reg Clemens]

I have a pre-compiled 64bit kernel from Fedora11, and I can execute
both 32 and 64bit executables with it.

I have just built a new kernel (to test some PPS code), and I CANT
execute 32bit executables with it.

There must be some option I didnt check.
What is it?????

In the Executable formats menu there is an option (IA32 Emulation) to run
32bit binaries in 64bit land.

I am assuming you are using an Intel processor, have you enabled
CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION?
