I just unpacked the installation sets I wanted onto the NFS server I am using and then used the /boot/loader from that. Just copy it into /tftpboot and then point DHCP to it and you should be fine. You'll need to tweak things a little since sysinstall hasn't run obviously. Which reminds me, I should update to 5.2.1. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
