I am trying to create node in Private Ethereum Chain.

l have used this command for creation of Ethereum node:-

  geth --datadir="~/data/node1"  init="/Documents/PRIVATENET/genesis.json" –nodiscover --ipcdisable --networkid 100 --port 30301 --rpcport 8101 console

I have specified networkid and custom genesis file for creation in the command.But the output shows that,it directs towards the default genesis file and default network id '1'.

(Refer these lines

     I1209 13:48:24.553115 eth/backend.go:189] Protocol Versions: [63 62], Network Id: 1

     I1209 13:48:25.092896 eth/backend.go:207] WARNING: Wrote default ethereum genesis block)

This is the output :-
