what is the problem boot using nfs?

I try to boot linux using nfs. I can successfully configure the ip of the board. 

 

The last three lines of the messages are as follows: 

 

VFS:Mounted root (nfs filesystem) 

freeing unused kernel memory..... 

kernel panic: no init found. Try passing init=option to kernel 

 

I manually change the files in /dev by using the similar command: 

 

mknod ptyp0 b 0 8  

 

I change some files but not all. Is it problematic? 

 

Thanks!

cloud, 

I use the Omni-nfs server v4.2 as the nfs server in windows2000.So I boot the system as nfs is successful.Are you correct the kernel config as Microtronix documents?

Thanks, I followed the instructions according to the document. It seems that the nfs has been succesfully mounted. And the system did try to get started from nfs system. 

 

I did not change all the files in the /dev directory. does that matter?

I create the filesystem in CF card,you may try.And I use the Aletra'stratix 1s10 board.I can startup,can write,can read,but there is one problem that once execute *.exe file ,the uclinux is restarted.The manner that rely on ramdisk,I don't try.
