This stuff is too cool, I just psuedo netbooted -current in a vmware session.
The catch is that Etherboot doesn't work with the vmware pcnet chip so
I used a vn node to mount a FreeBSD boot floppy image and copied a BOOTP
kernel on it.  Then umounted it and point vmware's floppy to that vn device
then "powered it on".  Root is mounted via NFS across the virtual
network.  It is king of wierd to telnet into the virtual machine.

Just think about the testing things that could be done!

Very nice.  Thanks for the great work.

Doug A.
