It is starting to come back to me now.. I had to hack the OSRCD to
actually boot with a different kernel image to support more network
cards,
and ran into some snafus. I think I ended up just making a Debian
install
that supported the Bootp/Dhcp/Tftp/NFS support and using that as the
platform to hack on the OSRCD code, and used the Netboot kernel under
Vmware to boot and test the restore process.
Since we don't need to have a "pure" OSRCD anymore, it is probably a
lot
easier to build the base on top of Knoppix or a similar CD distribution
that has totally ass kicking hardware detection. All we need to do is
create a custom Knoppix CD that boots, detects hardware, runs the
servers
(NFS, DHCP/BOOTP and TFTP) and then exports the "nfsroot-x86"
directory.
