NFS-Root Mini-Howto: Known problems
5. Known problems5.1 /sbin/init doesn't start.A popular problem with /sbin/init is, that some (at least) current
distributions come with /sbin/init dynamically linked. So you have to provide
a correct /lib setup to the client. One easy thing one could try is replacing
/sbin/init (for the client) with a statically linked ``Hello World'' program.
This way you know if it is something more basic, or ``just'' a problem with
dynamic linking.
5.2 /dev troubles.If you get some garbled messages about ttys when booting, then you
should run a MAKEDEV from the client in the /dev directory. There are
rumors that this doesn't work with certain server oses which use
64-bit dev numbers, should you run into this, please mail me with which os
you have the troubles. A potential solution would be to create a small /dev
ram disc early in the boot process, and reinstall the device nodes each time.
