[ale] Using PXE to boot Live Ubuntu CD

[jeb at rev-x.com (Jeb Barger)]

I have having some issues with a PXE boot of Ubunto 10.04 Live CD, and I was
hoping someone could spot my error.

The NSF Server works correctly.  I can mount the nfs directories from
different computers on the network.  Here is a copy of my exports file:

/srv
10.0.0.0/8(fsid=0,async,no_root_squash,ro,no_subtree_check)
/srv/images
10.0.0.0/8(fsid=0,async,no_root_squash,ro,no_subtree_check)
/srv/images/Ubuntu1004
10.0.0.0/8(fsid=0,async,no_root_squash,ro,no_subtree_check)


However, after it goes through the pxe boot, I get the error "mount call
failed - server replied: No Such file or directory".   I copied the entire
Live Cd into the folder /srv/images/Ubuntu1004 as per the instructions.  I
also copied the files/directories to the pxe server as per instructions.
Here's the pxe menu command:

LABEL Ubuntu

kernel /tftpboot/images/ubuntu/vmlinuz

append boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=10.101.40.8:/srv/images/Ubuntu1004
initrd=/tftpboot/images/ubuntu/initrd.lz



What did I do wrong?
