Dear Martin,

We are using FreeBSD 2.2.2 as the operating system in our Computer
Laboratory ie., it is installed in a Server (Dell PowerEdge 2000/180).
Terminals, old i286 and i386 IBM Compatible Computers are connected to this
Server (FreeBSD) by using NCSA Telnet. Also, I wish to connect some IBM
PS/Value Point as Diskless Work Stations.

In the FreeBSD Hand Book "13.3 Diskless operation" para 6 says "Unpack the
root filesystem in the directory...." I coudn't understand the term. That
is, how can I UNPACK the root file system into the directory? Please explain.

Thanking You
