=== nfs ===
Denning runs a few diskless nfs clients via pxe etc, unfortunatly nfs dosn't work very well, and i don't know why.
* The kernel used nfs v3 over tcp
* the mount works on my laptop (manual mounting)
* dosn't work on the spaces "windows" laptop (when netbooting)
* dosn't work on new colin (?) (when netbooting)
* i386 seems to work (?)
* but i386 has a newer kernel...
==== linkdump:====

* https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt
==== todo ====
* Try other machines incase it's a wierd nic driver bug
* Try more i386 vs. amd64.
* Upgrade kernel on the amd64 diskless image
