I have recently set up a lan with three New Internet Computers booting off the network as outlined in the article (
http://www.dnalounge.com/backstage/src/kiosk ) . After many atempts I have finally gotten ALMOST a booting client.
I have been alternating testing with SysVinit and Busybox's init. If I use the normal init I get errors on the NFS server about fh_verify: /etc/shadow permission failure. As soon as inittab is read. I get the same errors when I run sulogin. If I rename the inittab out of the way I can only boot in single mode.

If I use busybox it will boot. But I can not start X and I get the same errors.

Any clue? Any help would be great.

Sounds like you need the
no_root_squash
in you /etc/exports. You definately need this for exporting a root filesystem.

I'm trying to track down all of the things that I think could be the problem. For one, I know that things are not getting mounted right.

the init script passed to the kernel has the following lines of importance:

mount-t nfs -o nolock,ro,vers=2 $SERVER:/ /ro
mount-t nfs -o nolock,ro,vers=2 $SERVER:/home/guest/share /ro2
mount-t nfs -o nolock,rw,vers=2 $SERVER:/home/guest/$ID /rw

#then the /dev on the ramdisk is renamed out of the way and a server version of dev is mounted EXCLUDED

exec /sbin/init '#'

this should allow me to write to my home dir but it says I have a read only file system. Perhaps a remount option in my fstab to change.
