Ok, added the Vector Linux 4.3 hard drive to the test LTSP server.

Make backups of the /etc/exports, /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf and created the
links and mounted the hard drive to /tftpboot

Netvista booted the Vector Linux 4.3 kernel! Weeelllll..... almost

Couldn't find a netboot kernel... Ok, no big deal (I expected that one)

So I 'nbi-linux' the VL kernel and tried again...

Initial boot did exactly as I expected, it load boot, then tried again.

Second attempt died cause it could not find the root file system (no nfs
pivot-root or NFS misconfigured)

Still working on it....

<update>

Ok, I need bzImage from the Vector Linux 2.6.7 kernel. I tried using vmlinuz-2.6.7-ide4 but that didn't do it. Theroy: It's a finished product. (read rolled into a HD based booting kernel).

I need the RAW kernel image (bzImage) to correctly make it into a netboot kernel. mknbi-linux DOES work on vmlinuz-2.6.7-ide4 but DOESN'T correctly passing the --rootdir=/tftpboot/vl43 params to the kernel :(
