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.
