No need for swap just yet. This is the relevant segment I have in my dhcpd.conf: host macfreebsd { hardware ethernet 00:30:65:A1:7B:AC; fixed-address 192.168.0.11; option host-name "macfbsd"; always-reply-rfc1048 on; option root-path "192.168.0.1:/export/macfbsd/root"; option routers 192.168.0.1; filename "loader"; next-server 192.168.0.1; } The loader has been copied into the /tftpboot directory, and the root filesystem dumped into /export/macfbsd/root. NFS has been setup on the server (192.168.0.1) to export this directory. To boot, get to the OpenFirmware prompt and 0 > boot enet:,loader (works on all G3/G4 systems, older G3's can get away with 'enet:0') Unfortunately, there currently seems to be a problem with the root directory on NFS mounts # ls / /: /: Bad file descriptor even though 'ls /bin' works fine. I'm looking into it. later, Peter. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ppc" in the body of the message
