Hi All, I've been charged with looking at diskless booting with FreeBSD. I've got two Intel Pro100 cards that seem to support PXE booting. From what I gather, it isn't as easy as I hoped. From the Intel documentation and from http://www2.im.uec.ac.jp/~fukuhara/pxe/pxe-freebsd.txt I've gathered that it fetches a file before it gets the kernel. With the Intel SDK, this file looks for a PXE server and offers a menu to choose but I suspect that their implmentation is linux only. From the web page above, it seems that I need to build a special binary that grabs etherboot. Is there an easier way? Has anyone done this before?
