Hello Folks,

I was just wondering if this can be done.

I would like to have a FreeBSD server which would supply a few 
workstations connected over the network a boot image. The catch is the 
boot image has to be a Ubuntu Linux image. I have a fresh installed 
FreeBSD box as well as a working Ubuntu box which boots locally. All the 
systems in question has network boot enabled NICs. Can the above setup 
be done? Any pointers would be welcome.

Thanks and Best Regards
Subhro
