is there any documentation how to generate a netboot package for grml-small?
I'm already able to boot the grml-small kernel via PXE but I don't know how to generate an apropriate initrd.
And in my case I'd also like to modify the init script inside the initrd, as I did with the older version, to fetch the squashfs image using http to a ramdisk because I don't want to setup an NFS server for that network.
I already got that running with the old grml-small release but I used the normal grml netboot package and hacked in the kernel modules and stuff manually which was too ugly to do it again ;-)
Yeah, this "too ugly" of the old initrd approach is the reason why we switched to the live-initramfs way of life in grml and grml-medium. ;)
grml-small does not use live-initramfs, therefor we don't have any PXE images AFAIK. You might consider using grml-medium instead or build your own grml-small using grml-live.
