The client must be able to boot from net. So it must have a boot ROM having netboot capabilities. I use a 3COM 905C-M which have a PXE boot ROM. I configure that card to boot from net by default and the BIOS has as 1st boot device INT18 (network). This configuration is working. With an onboard network interface the BIOS must support this feature. -- Falco Krepel Phone: +49-(0)30 - 34 63 - 7 276 GMD-FOKUS Fax: +49-(0)30 - 34 63 - 8 276 Kaiserin-Augusta-Allee 31 e-mail: krepel@fokus.gmd.de 10589 Berlin WWW: http://www.fokus.gmd.de/usr/krepel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
