hi : Anyone install and configure successfully on FreeBSD 5.x ?! I referenced the handbook of FreeBSD :http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-diskless= .html then my installation step as: 1. clone whole system via 'clone_root' script. ( /usr/share/examples/diskless/clone_root ) 2. install isc-dhcp3-server port , and configure the dhcpd.conf=20 3. setup TFTP service and NFS service both. 4. get etherboot Image file via following web site, and 'dd' this image to floppy disk. http://rom-o-matic.net/5.2.6/build.php?version=3D5.2.6&F=3D&arch=3Di386&nic= =3Dvia-rhine%3Adlink-530tx+--+%5B0x1106%2C0x3065%5D&ofmt=3DFloppy+bootable+= ROM+Image+%28.zdsk%29&A=3DConfigure ( since the remote machine's network card isn't Intel , is VIA-Rhine VT3043 . so it can't boot via PXE. ) 5. Finally, I booted the remote machine via this floppy . then I saw nothing in remote machine. why ?! Did I miss something else ?! if the network has another dhcp server , whether it will impact ?! BTW, I re-configure the etherboot image with=20 ALTERNATE_DHCP_PORTS_1067_1068 option, it still can't work .=20 Regards! Jumbler
