install via miniroot?

[Joel Heikkila]

Hello all,

I got it to work.

I've been using Wireshark to try and dissect what's happening.  The
loader makes a number of NFS requests (I do not have NFS set up) which
time out, making the booting process excruciatingly slow.  Setting up
NFS will cause it to boot much faster even if there's nothing to
loaded via NFS.

NFS is not really optional even though the loader pulls everything via TFTP.

I've been following Craig Butler's post here for the most part.
