Hi guys,

I'm still having problems trying to NFS boot with TS7200 using the 
TS "Linux for ARM on TS-7000 User's Guide" of page 26.
I've setup a portmap and nfs-kernel-server and restarted them.
I've got the image file from TS and untar it using the commands given.

The architecture is as follows:
Client: 10.1.136.250
Server: 10.1.136.251
NFS folder: /home/user/nfsr/

1) The contents of /home/user/nfsr/etc/fstab file is
10.1.136.251:/home/user/nfsr / nfs exec,dev,suid 1 1

2) The contents of /etc/exports file is
/home/user/nfsr 10.1.136.251/255.255.252.0
(rw,no_root_squash,inseure,sync)

3) The contents of /home/user/nfsr/etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 file is
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=10.1.136.251
NETMASK=255.255.252.0
#NETWORK=10.1.136.250
BROADCAST=10.1.139.255
BOOTPROTO=static
#BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ENABLE=yes

4) My redboot syntax:
fis load vmlinux
exec -c "console=ttyAM1, 115200 nfsroot=10.1.136.251:/home/user/nfsr 
ip=10.1.136.250"

For each bootup, i see about 1.8MB of bytes going off my server 
through the Connection Properties: eth0 (I assume that is the image 
file). However, the boot screen comes to a halt as shown below:

Is there anything that I've missed out?

Thanks,
