The latest version of the loader includes network support. If you have some fairly recent firmware, you can select the network device from the boot menu and it will dhcp and tftp a copy of loader.efi. The loader can then use NFS to fetch the kernel. Nice. Alternatively you can get an LS120 floppy drive which has plenty of space for kernels on it. Slow but workable. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Phone: +44 20 8348 6160 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
