I've got a german Telekom TDSL line und must convert from my oldish I4B diskless router (386/40) to a new one, that's capable to handle the DSL speed at 768K/sec. Since there are now to many differences between my -current workstation at home and the 4.1-stable that's my i4B router boots diskless, I've decided to run -current on the new router also and I wish to share the / and the /usr filesystems between the two. I have an 10base5 Network at home and the DSL modem comes with an 10baseT interface. The Network cards I wish to use are some oldish WD8013 with an etherboot rom and dhcp and for the DSL side an 3C509. What ist the way to boot , eg. which file I have to load with dhcp? The cards doesn't support pxe. Please point me in the right direction...
