--lEGEL1/lMxI0MVQ2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Does anyone have any experience of booting a machine over the network, like pxeboot, but without running PXE on a network card. I imagine that it should be possible to load pxeboot at the boot: prompt and have everything just work. I could really do with booting my laptop into -stable, where it's only got -current installed. I do however have a -stable server on site with plenty of disk space. It would be really cool to remote boot of that via NFS mounts, etc. Joe --=20 Josef Karthauser (joe@tao.org.uk) http://www.josef-k.net/ FreeBSD (cvs meisterk admin and hacker) http://www.uk.FreeBSD.org/ Physics Particle Theory (student) http://www.pact.cpes.sussex.ac.uk/ =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D An eclectic mix of fact an= d theory. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D --lEGEL1/lMxI0MVQ2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAj9VA3oACgkQXVIcjOaxUBad7QCeIZEnDVFLsByIWsPOuGkSzET+ IgUAoORCkUYzhqCpU4WIf0Bi4PfJMV5U =m/1+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --lEGEL1/lMxI0MVQ2--
