Just a comment: I've seen scenarios where a local disk is attached holding a kernel, bootblocks loader etc, but otherwise booting from a server over NFS. And it exported the rest of it's disk for general use... It's easier than netbooting, allows each machine to contribute disk space to the cluster in addition to compute cycles, keyboard, screen etc. Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
