I want to do diskless network boot with a network card that isn't one of the supported ones in the FreeBSD kernel. What I'm trying to achive is network booting of an MFS_ROOT kernel from an Intel EtherExpress Pro 100. Changing the network card isn't an option, nor is using NFS_ROOT. I'm currently trying to get Etherboot (http://www.slug.org.au/etherboot/) booting a MFS_ROOT kernel (i.e. I'm not worried about having an NFS_ROOT). Etherboot expects a "tagged" kernel, and contains code to tag a Linux or DOS kernel, but not FreeBSD. So, two questions: 1. Is this the best way to go about my goal? If not, what else could I try? 2. Has anybody already got a Etherboot FreeBSD kernel tagger? Thanks for any help. Andrew.
