Mutter" X-Sender: jmutter@psasolar.private.psa.pencom.com To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: diskless installation Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've been playing around with PXE and diskless booting for the last few days. I've made quite a bit of progress lately and I'm happy to see that it's possible to boot a diskless system into a running system in a matter of minutes. But... I'm booting significantly more than I need to. What I'd like to do is to boot something similar to the "boot.flp" - just enough to perform a scripted sysinstal. I've tried replacing the netbooted kernel with boot.flp (renamed to kernel of course) but this won't work. Any ideas?
