[fedora-arm] [F15] NFS boot [howto]

[Zoran Pericic]

This is how I configured NFS root on my pandaboard. There is also 
complete boot partition in [1]

1) Install grubby, u-boot and dracut-network from my repo [2]

2) Install kernel-omap. This kernel have path that allow you to set mac 
address for smsc95xx with smsc95xx.macaddr kernel boot argument.

3) Change KERNEL_ARG in /etc/sysconfig/uboot for dracut network boot [3]

KERNEL_ARGS="ro vram=32M root=dhcp fixrtc console=ttyO2,115200 
mem=460M at 0x80000000 mem=512M at 0xA0000000 omapdss.def_disp=dvi 
smsc95xx.macaddr=5A:3E:83:2D:BA:41 selinux=0"

4) Add option "root-path=SERVER:PATH" to dhcp server
     host pandaboard1 {
         hardware ethernet 5a:3e:83:2d:ba:41;
         fixed-address 10.21.38.31;
         option root-path "10.21.38.4:/nfs/pandaboard1-fc15";
     }

5) Run "flash-kernel --update-bootscript 2.6.38.8-36.06.fc15.armv7hl.omap"
