How are you getting the diskless image to work with the via epia. I
thought you  had to have the nic driver compiled in the kernel to get it
to boot with root file system on nfs? And the nic driver for the epia is
a binary module right?
I ran into that problem trying to get my nforce based frontend to run
diskless. It wouldn't cause the nvidia nic card driver is a module and
won't compile in the kernel. Let me know how you solved this!
