Hi list,

I am sure this has been done. All documentation I've found so far deals
with a setup where an NFS server is needed.

All I need is a way to boot a server machine into sysinstall using only
TFTP, much like most Linux PXE install methods nowadays.

Links to documentation, hints and advises are greatly appreciated.

TIA,
