Enabling NFS just to transfer 2 files once every 3-4 months seems silly to me. > 6. compile DISKLESS kernel and put it to /pxeroot > (can gzip -9 for faster loading from server) For my initial testing, I'm using the kernel and mfsroot from the install floppies. I used Alfred Perlstein's instructions to extract the files from the floppy images and hints about how DHCP. Once I can get a kernel to transfer and booting up, I'll start building the filesystem. Right now, I just wanna see the kernel start. :) [snip] > 11. I had some problem with out NBASE switch, which doesn't like DHCP or > so. Switching connection to Baystack enabled booting... I don't know why. FWIW, I'm doing all this on my home lan through a 3com 10Base-T hub, although I have considered going up to the Netgear FS308. > Maybe I forgot some step, so I you will have some problems, write me.
