NSF-server does shuts itself down when running Fedora 17
I am running a target board with the application called minicom. This program requires the NFS-Server to be running. However, my NFS-server has quit or ended and is no longer running. Restarting it does not help. Here is the best I can get for an error log:
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Cannot open root device "nfs" or unknown-block(2,0): error -6
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
1f00 256 mtdblock0 (driver?)
1f01 128 mtdblock1 (driver?)
1f02 5120 mtdblock2 (driver?)
1f03 256640 mtdblock3 (driver?)

Someone else asks something similar, but he did not get any answers, so I thought I would try again.
Thanks!
minicom is just a serial console application. Your problem looks like you are trying to bring up an embedded board and don't have the boot paramaters set correctly. Can you post the actual, complete commands you are using and more information about the board? I very much doubt this problem is with minicom, and you don't say if you are actually intending to map the device's root filesystem over NFS.
