Everyone tells me that diskless is a snap...but the docs leave me wanting to swallow a cyanid pill...been at this a long time and at least I'm convinced that something must be outdated in the docs or diskless just doesn't work anymore. I follow the steps in man diskless for pxeboot. And I have read many HOWTO articles on diskless setup with FreeBSD. But each time I try to build the server files to serve the clients with these commands: export DESTDIR=/dksro (or I sometimes try setenv) cd /usr/src make world make kernel cd etc make distribution I get a dozen or so lines of text and then the process fails with this message: install: wrong number or types of arguments useage: install [-b-CcpSsv] [-B suffix]...etc >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
