I keep getting the error when the target boots; Trying netboot

An easy workaround for this problem is to prepend the server
adress in the NFSROOT variable, like this:
NFSROOT=192.168.1.1:/srv/fai/nfsroot. And then run fai-chboot
again for the target.<span><font color="#888888"><br>

</font></span>This is occuring because the DHCP server isn't
sending over ROOTSERVER, or you are configuring with a static IP
so rootserver doesn't get set by the DHCP server.

It is, in fact, just before the nfs mount failure I can see the
output of ipconfig, including 'rootserver=192.168.1.1' followed by
rootpath; but for some reason the rootserver value is not sent to
the kernel in amd64 environment, although it is with a i386 kernel.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the tip,<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
