The idea is to put contents of LiveCD/DVD on a NFS and then use the nfs share instead of CD. Makes working gentoo livecd easier since you dont have to find cdrom drive and burn cds to install. Gentoo even seems to have a support for this in initrd, but there is no support for default route. So if the NFS server is on different subnet I get destination unreachable. Can this be fixed please?
The techniques I am developing for this year's SoC could actually be applied to build a "Gentoo Install Server" which could serve up stage4 images. http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/clustering-livecd.git;a=tree ...or some morphing of this idea...
Shouldn't a DHCP server provide you with a proper default route?
DHCP does provide you a default route, but udhcpc.script is set to ignore that.
Do we even need the custom udhcpc.scripts? Won't udhcpd "Do The Right Thing" all by itself? Do we only have it for the purposes of creating /rootpath?
Created attachment 161616 [details, diff] Add support for default route and dns servers/domain I've just committed this patch in git. Please test and make sure it works for you.
I'm abusing the InSVN keyword, since InGIT doesn't exist :P
(In reply to comment #5) > I've just committed this patch in git. Due to the date of the last comment on this bug I assume that feature to be included in 3.4.10.907 or an earlier release of genkernel. Closing, please re-open as needed.
