I'm trying to set up a small network at home with a server and a few x-terminal. The server is a dedicated Pentium FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE. The x-terminal are 486 machines. I successfully - set up bootp/tftp/nfs daemons on the server. - build the bootstrap floppy for the x-terminal (located in /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/netboot/) - get answer from the bootp server - load the file with configuration info about rootfs, swapfs, swapsize... on the x-terminal - nfs mount the file systems on the x-terminal - start to load /kernel Here is where it fails... The message is something like: Bad module format! or... Bad head format! ...can't exacly remember ;^) Is that because the kernel is ELF and the boot program expects a.aot??? Any help/hints greatly appreciated. Please send answers also to my mail-box.
