I spent some time trying to boot the board via DHCP with no success : I did not want to spend time building a system and create a boot cd. I bought and tried several network cards with no success. The information I get was the amount of supported card being able to netboot was somewhat limited. Would I have a better success with a Pegasos II ? Strange, I cannot find back my previous posts on the freebsd-ppc archive. I will download a snapshot and give it another try. Phil.help
