[Peeweelinux] Adding nfsroot parameters to lilo

[Stephen Lee]

I added the following bits to the lilo.conf portion in
pwl_target_functions:

image = $rd_bp_kernel
root = /dev/nfs
label = nfs
vga = 768
append = "console=tty2 ip=bootp  \
          nfsroot=192.168.1.200:/export/linux/root"

During the lilo loader phase when writing PWL to a DOC2000, I get the
following error:

Creating lilo.conf in a temporary location...ok
Installing lilo bootloader...Patched LILO for M-Systems' DiskOnChip 2000
LILO version 21, Copyright 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger

According to nfsroot.txt in the kernel docs (2.4.20), you're suppose to
create a dummy device (mknod /dev/boot255 c 0 255) to satisfy the
root=/dev/nfs requirement. I created the device on the system hosting
prior to runnig pwlconfig but that didn't help lilo recognize /dev/nfs.
How do  I do this with pwlconfig or manually. 

Thanks,
Stephen
