He is the main force behind the Etherboot package that I made a port of to boot FreeBSD a.out & ELF kernels. It appears to be GPL'd. It looks like an interesting project. Doug A. ----- Forwarded message from Ken Yap ----- [Hi Doug, I believe you are on some FreeBSD lists. Would you be kind enough to forward this to those lists? TIA, Ken] NLnet is pleased to announce that the NILO (Network Interface LOader) project has commenced in February 1999 with Rob Savoye, of welcomehome.org, as the project contractor. The NILO project has the goal of developing Open Source Software for network booting ROMs based on Linux network adaptor drivers. The resulting ROMs will be able to boot operating systems such as Linux, FreeBSD and Windows. It will support the Intel PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) specification. The project will run until October 1999. For further details please visit the NILO home page at http://www.nilo.org/ The NILO project invites the Open Source community to actively participate in NILO development by joining the NILO developers mailing list and providing feedback on the documents and software releases as they appear on the web site. Details of how to subscribe are on the NILO web page. The NLnet foundation, started in 1982, is the principal founder of global area networking in Europe, in what is called today the Internet. NLnet originates from initiatives taken from the Unix (tm) community and is fully non-profit. Currently NLnet funds network technology projects to stimulate electronic information exchange, mainly on the Internet.
