If you don't want to use an initrd, remove the "module" statement from the RMGR line. (For further issues please include the error messages as well, it's easier for us to figures out what's going on.)
is this the right way to do it? Im i missing something? he says that can't find a init and even when sometimes he loads the img, it crashes while loading it from disk. /dev/hda5 is my / partition.
What's the 2.2.27.img file? The file name doesn't sound likes it's a rd.
- Is it mandatory in L4Env boot to have the tftp server? can't i boot
it from disk?
The loader program needs a file provider to get the files from. This is usually the tftp server. There's another implementation of this service in l4/pkg/generic_fprov/examples/bmodfs. That's a file provider, which can be given modules via GRUB so that it does not depend on a working network.
