Is there good detailed information on how netboot works? What I basically saw was a UTSL strategy. I'm kinda unhappy with the different combinations which I had to use to boot freebsd on different machines... 1) one machine won't boot from fbsdboot -- it wouldn't boot from booteasy -- but it booted if I changed the boot partition in fdisk... (I reinstalled booteasy (bt17?) and then it worked... 2) another machine had freebsd on a ontracked hard disk... It: 1) wouldn't boot from bteasy 2) wouldn't boot from the boot disk 3) booted from fbsdboot <compiled in rootdev> <dos kernel> when I build a kernel for that device I see there are now translating ide controllers for about $40. Would this solve the ontrack difficulties? -- marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom
