I would like use my linux pc to make modifications to freebsd code base and then test it on my old PC. After compiling freebsd image on my linux pc, how do I boot this image on my old PC ? Is there a cost effective way of doing this without using floppies or CDs which is time consuming ? Can I run some special image on my old PC to let it fetch the newly compiled image everytime ?? Does anyone have this kind of setup ? Can I setup a console server for cheap and acheive this ? Please share your thoughts on this. Thanks, Sarath
