Current Status
- Added
dnsipparameter so that user can give his own DNS ip in case of static ip configuration. - Now static and dhcp should work fine in debian.
httpfsis done, now with improved code, it does not conflict withrun-init.iscsifsis also working, but it conflicts withrun-init( so I am force to work with modifiedrun-init).
Following the support request in mailing list.

creating Harddisk Image

This will avoid the need of gpxe, and hence will make it easy to test.
