Hi everyone!

I've got a problem...

I'm trying to boot puppy lupu (puppy 5.4) from WAN with the following menu entry:

label Puppy
MENU LABEL Puppy Lupu
  kernel /images/lupu/vmlinuz
  append root=http://69ddwrt.no-ip.org/images/lupu/ boot=lupu netboot=nfs nfsroot=http://69ddwrt.no-ip.org/images/lupu/  

  initrd=http://69ddwrt.no-ip.../lupu/initrd.gz

Lupu works fine after booting over http with gpxe firmware but I want to go further...

I want to load the lupusave.2fs file in order to access all the applications I've installed with no need of reinstall all the applications every time I'm booting puppy from pxe.

I've tried with the multiple initrdfile command to load more than one file but it doesn't work...

Any ideas or suggestions?

Any support would be much appreciated...

Regards.

In general, a particular Linux distribution has to support whatever medium you're booting from. If you are expecting it to search for this lupusave.2fs file somewhere and it isn't, you'll likely have to edit one of their scripts.

Your nfsroot= option doesn't make any sense, unless it's been specifically documented to work for that particular distribution. Are you following a guide or tutorial? If not, it looks to me like you are simply booting the initramfs and there are no other media available to the running OS, so it wouldn't be able to find your lupusave.2fs file.
