Hello,

I am about to setup a group of diskless freebsd
servers with nfs_root onto a netapp filer. So far
this works fine with the respective NICs (pxeboot).

What about other cards? My question?
Is it possible to load the kernel from a local 
flashcard and to make it get its ip/netmask/nfsroot
etc. from a dhcp server?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Andreas
