I haven't solved it conclusively yet. I unpacked the initrd.img and replaced mount with 'busybox mount' for the first nfs mount. This works, and the system boots to a login prompt, but there were enough other errors to make me think this wasn't a good solution. I looked at the script which creates the initrd.img and it just does a copy of /bin/mount.
My suspicion is that /bin/mount should be enough, but it needs something else to make the nfs mount work correctly. I plan to try again, but this time with a more or less full FC6 installation on my diskless image rather than the minimal one I had before. I've also thought of putting mount.nfs into the initrd.img and using that. Both of these will have to wait until at least the weekend though.
- busybox mount is ok
- plain initrd.img /sbin/mount works, provided I copy /sbin/mount.nfs
to initrd.img (found via strace) so it seems system-config-netboot forgot to copy /sbin/mount.nfs from master host to initrd.img. is there a bugzilla for this ?
I think /bin/mount has changed somewhere between fc4 and fc6 but system-config-netboot hasn't been updated to reflect this.
Someone has already created a bugzilla entry:
