[Fedora-livecd-list] Net Boot

[Aaron Hanson]

Hi All -
 
    I didn't get any responses on my question earlier in the week, so I
just forged ahead. I'm trying to get a net-boot of the complete livecd
image. I've been merging the isolinux/initrd.img with the entire
squashfs os.image and sending it to the target device with 'pxelinux'.
 
    The kernel loads, and the initrd is dutifully transferred, but I
think I'm building the initrd wrong, because the kernel can't figure it
out (see below). Does anybody have some tips on the correct way to
construct the initrd? Thanks...
