Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I vaguely remember a few articles go by in the past few months which had to do with improved support for netbooting. I thought I saved the messages away, but I can't find them now even though I've tried several likely searches of the mailing-list archives. I *think* they had to do with the situation where you have boot-rom's on a PC, and then they can connect to some server to download the entire system image to disk (at least, that's what I am interested in). Anyone remember any work going on in that area? The goal here is to have a lab of PC's, and let users boot into different operating systems (if they don't mind waiting a bit for the new system image to be built), so it's not the same thing as simple boot loaders like booteasy, PowerBoot, or System Commander. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
