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?
