Folks:
I have a few systems I'd like to run 'disk'-less with root on
NFS, but that might only have connectivity via some network
that requires configuration (wireless, USB-ethernet-emulation,
etc.). Do we have a 'standard' way of handling these sorts
of situations? Is there a better way than memory-disk which
sets up the network, mounts the filesystem and chroots to the
NFS root? And if not, is there a nice way to boot to multi-
user using the memory disk trick?
Have you looked at sysctl init.root? This is the best way to chroot to a new root and restart init so that you can boot multi-users
