Marking bug report as dead because it got not user feedback for many months.

See #409271 and #409272 regarding the nfs4 issue (needs work in upstream code).

See my answer on the Grml mailinglist:

PS: Please provide different issues in separate bugs, otherwise at least one of the 
issues might get just lost.

Hello,

I tried to setup a boot server with pxe. I followed loosely the
wiki http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=terminalserver for that,
with grml 2012.05
So far all went fine, except mounting the root over nfs4.

My nfs server is version4 only, and from packet logs I see that
grml tries nfs version3 only over and over.

Is this a bugs or is there some trick for get it to work with
nfs4?

This concerns both 32 and 64 bit version.


Also, as I am using the grml96 iso image via a loopback mount, I
would greatly appreciate if I could use the bootmenu for isolinux
also for pxelinux. To me it seems it is mainly a matter of
pathnames (and maybe symlinks) to get it to work with  a statement like

LABEL grml-from-iso
   CONFIG <iso-root>/boot/isolinux/<common.cfg>
   APPEND <<iso-root>

from pxelinux.cfg

Bye,

Joerg
