To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I was reading this article about creating a diskless X-terminal. http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskless-x/article.html This part specifically: http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskless-x/x33.html talks about DOS executable files which you can run to then have the system boot off the network. It only talks about support for two cards/chipsets. Can I do this somehow with other cards/chipsets? Is it possible to put the boot-rom code that a vendor supplies onto a floppy and boot it from there instead? Any help on this issue appreciated. Thanks, Paul _____________________________________________________________________________ http://geocities.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Australia & NZ GeoCities - Build your own Web Site - for free!
