'boot net:dhcp' that you're often advised to type silently tries to boot by RARP without complaining about the :dhcp. I gave up trying to boot with DHCP. meh. of course freebsd 'loader' will still want dhcp, so you need to have rarp + tftp running on the same machine to provide 'loader' to the firmware, and also a dhcp server running somewhere. you do not need a bootparams server. iirc 'loader' will quietly use either tftp or nfs to load all it's config and forth bootstrap and kernel and modules. --pgp-sign-Multipart_Wed_Nov_12_15:38:38_2008-1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (NetBSD) iQCVAwUASRs+2InCBbTaW/4dAQLsyQQAkvBWG269pZ/BGycltXOVkaQ8EkQPhVDu 50tvM1ZOL528QU3tH+1+N2joJp4sL8wqhna6MywxJC79kh6YWeogLUA0BbcT8mvz oR63fWX8vzdA3VGItMevW7VDTxWFsTQVr+IXDhSgM2JSp67/GfF3prAoY7//FozP iM4ZhEtJUAI= =y6Q1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --pgp-sign-Multipart_Wed_Nov_12_15:38:38_2008-1--
