To boot from network you need to setup some services. A NFS server to hold the / filesystem. A bootp which sents several parameters such as bootfiles, IP, ... A TFTP server to hold netboot. This is an example of what you need to configure the isc dhcpd server: shared-network keller { option domain-name "cicely.de"; option domain-name-servers 10.1.1.22, 10.1.1.8; allow bootp; default-lease-time 14400; max-lease-time 86400; server-name "cicely6.cicely.de"; get-lease-hostnames true; authoritative; option ntp-servers 10.1.6.9; subnet 10.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range dynamic-bootp 10.1.1.128 10.1.1.254; option domain-name-servers 10.1.1.22, 10.1.1.8; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option broadcast-address 10.1.1.255; option routers 10.1.1.8; } group { host cicely10 { hardware ethernet 00:00:92:94:0f:91; fixed-address 10.1.1.12; filename "netboot"; next-server 10.1.1.11; option root-path "10.1.1.11:/var/d7/testroot/"; } } } option root-path defines the nfsserver with the / filesystem. The etc/fstab in this filessystem should point to nfs. filename and next-server point to the TFTP server holding the netboot image (from /boot/netboot). The kernel is on the NFS server just as it would be on a normal UFS base / filesystem. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
