It's _already_been_done_, even. See above inre: netboot. Good god, you are talking about netboot? Hello? Mike, I get the feeling that you've never actually tried to use netboot. You seem to believe that it is direct replacement for BOOTP. It isn't even close. netboot only works with a very small number of ethernet cards while the BOOTP code in the kernel works with *all* ethernet cards that the kernel supports. netboot doesn't work with a single one of my machines. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
