Hi all, I've tried to get my freebsd diskless system to get hold of some of the dhcp-options. E.g. my dhcp-server will always be the nfs-server as well. So I was hoping to create the /etc/fstab with the the dhcpd's ip as the nfs server. Thus not needing to have the hard coded nfsroot:/conf/'ip-address'/etc. Instead i'm looking for having almost all necessary files in the nfsroot:/conf/base/etc directory. I've tried to set ifconfig_ETHDEV="DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf and creating a bourne shell script /etc/dhclient_enter_hooks, but as far as I can detect the script is never run. I guess since the kernel already got the ip-address during pxeboot it does not care about renewing the ip-address, or?? I'm running a legacy FreeBSD 6.4. So - not really a specific question, more like a cry for guidance - anyone? /Mats
