Thanks! thanks very much!
If you can read my message, i hope, i have the answer to my question.
The pontuation, well, here in Brasil, we don't worry about that in
mailing lists... informal mail. But i know that help to understand.
I fix my problem changing my /etc/fstab.
I don't know why loader force the rootdev to disk1sa1. The boot2 and
the etherboot image don't do that. Then, i did changed my root fs in
/etc/fstab to point to nfs server, and works.
Thanks again.
