If your machine is reasonably reecent, its BIOS has PXE, which can be used for diskless booting. there is no real tutorial on diskless booting, but alfred perlstein ( bright@sneakerz.org ) wrote an intersting paper on <http://people.freebsd.org/~alfred/pxe/>; which is a good base for diskless booting. you will also find rc.diskless[12] a good reading TfH PS : there is also man diskless, but it is not up to date PS2 : the -net archive has a thread on the subject : <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=98317+100355+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/freebsd-net/20010211.freebsd-net>; Jean-Christophe Varaillon wrote: > > Hi, > > I want to build a machine where FreeBSD will be the OS of my router, > Zebra. > > This 2U box has to be without hard disk.
