The Handbook mentions one can set up a floppy, so that a normal kernel (instead of netboot) is loaded and a custom init replacement mounts some NFS fs and chroots the whole system to it. I'm going to try this, but before reinventing the wheel, is there someone who has done this before? Thanks if you can help. Otherwise, I'll collect what I have to do and make it availiable. Happy Hacking Martin P.S. I don't want netboot because the cards are 3c5x9 and I don't want to provide bootp information for the PCs to boot. I think having a ready-to-run setup of that sort might convince quite a few people to try BSD. P.S2. I hope noone with a windows PC in reach of my ethernet is readings this [evil grin]. -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martin Cracauer <cracauer@wavehh.hanse.de> - Fax +49 40 522 85 36 BSD User Group Hamburg, Germany http://www.bik-gmbh.de/~cracauer
