SheevaPlug + NFS

[Whatboy]

Ok, I have a Sheevaplug and installed Fedora 12 with Kernel 2.6.36, I have a My Book World Edition 1, with shares like http://www.netbsd.org/docs/network/netboot/nfs.html#linux explains, I laso know about /etc/exports overwrite on reboot, so I found a script on the web to set'em again on startup.

Code:

/export/client/root *(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
/export/client/swap *(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
/export/client/usr *(rw,sync,root_squash)
/export/client/home *(rw,sync,root_squash)

I can export them with another linux PC, so NFS server is working.

What are the options to boot to NFS? I have try several things but to no avail.

I have attached the original environment, I read that you need to modify only three variables, ipaddr, serverip and rootpath but nothing happens!

Should I persist on with that, or just let the flash run and mount the shares once the system is up and running?

Code:

setenv arcNumber 2097
setenv mainlineLinux yes
setenv ipaddr 10.1.0.196
setenv serverip 10.1.0.195
setenv mtdparts 'orion_nand:0x100000@0x0(u-boot),0x400000@0x100000(uImage),0x2000000@0x500000(rootfs),0xDB00000@0x2500000(data)'
setenv bootargs $(console) root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.0.195:/export/client/root ip=192.168.0.196 rootdelay=5 $(mtdparts)
setenv tftpboot 'tftp 0x6400000 uImage ; $(bootargs); bootm 0x6400000'
setenv bootcmd 'run tftpboot'
saveenv
reset

vsftp doesn't work, it has to be tftp...

Code:

Marvell>> tftpboot 0x6400000 uImage
