Hi,

I collegue ask me why I set up a 64 bit nfsroot, next to mine 32 bit 
nfsroot.

His point is that if you boot with a 64bit kernel, and with 32 bit 
userspace (the nfsroot) you can install a 64 bit system.

And that I'm doing on my install server: 64bit kernel with 32 bit 
emulation, with a 64bit chroot  where I create my 64bit fai nfsroot.

Any comments on this?

Cheers,
