I've read the Handbook on diskless booting FreeBSD over the network. Can FreeBSD be used as a server for HP JetDirect cards? And if so, what do I need to do on my FreeBSD printer sever? ________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ It can. do "man bootpd" and "man bootptab" ________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ So far I have included BOOTP option in my kernel and recompiled. I now get a BOOTP timeout for server on my NIC???? ________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ That's for having the system pick it's IP up (and other parameters) from a BOOTP server ________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ I have uncommented the tftp and bootps lines in the inetd.conf file, made a bootptab for my JetDirect card. Anything else? ________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ I recommend commenting them back in and running "/usr/libexec/bootpd - -d 4" to watch it run as the BOOTP system (in your case, a JD card) comes up. ________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ I would really like to use FreeBSD as the main network OS, and getting BOOTP to work is a must. Any help is greatly appreciated.
