inittab is not executing after my Linux box boots up

Hi Dave and Mulyadi

Can you tell me where to place the previously generated RSA key. I even
suspected this but this line

*Starting dropbear sshd: generating rsa key... generating dsa key... OK*

and the OK pulled me off the track. One more thing can you tell me  what
does the OK mean there...

My mask is mask=255.0.0.0 so it is able to get the NFS server location

I typed a wrong command after changing the commands i find no difference

So it looks like your root file system was mounted successfully.

And since sshd is starting, it's actually processing stuff from your
root file system.

You may want to try disabling ssh. Generating the rsa key can take
several minutes, depending on how fast your target is. So it may look
like the system is hung, but it will actually continue to boot.

You may want save away the generated RSA key and include it in your
generated image so that this step is faster. For a given filesystem,
it only happens the first time, and once the generated key is stored,
ssh will just use the previously generated key. But if you're
constantly rebuilding your filesystem without any generated keys then
the first time you boot the new filesystem you'lll gget a long delay.
