I think I FOUND solution. What is your server and your diskless? Problem is that P6 optimized init does not work on K6 :-( Also if you wish use etherboot, you need copy your kernel into /tftpboot I have tested this. I don't have yet working config, but I simple copied kernel to /tftpboot and made "init" like this: main() { reboot(0); } I my diskless now constantly reboots!!! :-) That is very good. I made 2 mistakes during testing: puts, write etc. does not work in "init" even statically linked, because my libs was for P6. And I have K6-2 diskless. Now I'm rebuilding world for i386. Then I'll install it into /usr/local/Diskless and I hope I'll have working config :-) -- Igor Roboul, Unix System Administrator & Programmer @ sanatorium "Raduga", Sochi, Russia http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=304744 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
