The focus now is more on getting PXE with UNDI to work, presumably making this problem a moot point. However, I wanted to preserve what we had at the moment for history's sake at least. Also, it seems to work most of the time with the delay in there. Note that I didn't stick this stuff in -stable. :) -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
