Hello Damien,

The /mnt/fractal/buildroot/buildroot-2009.05/project_build_arm/logica_demo/root
directory cannot be used to boot over NFS, because the /dev directory
doesn't contain any device file (Buildroot can create them, since it
requires root priviledges).

To boot over NFS, you have to do the following things:

 * Enable the generation of a tarball in the Buildroot configuration /
   Target filesystem options

 * Uncompress the tarball somewhere in your host, while being root (or
   using sudo), so that tar is allowed to create device files

 * Mount the location where you uncompressed the tarball over NFS

Sincerly,

Thomas
