[etc] When running diskless, the loader sets kernel variables like: boot.netif.gateway="192.168.198.1" boot.netif.hwaddr="00:15:17:47:14:fc" boot.netif.ip="192.168.198.8" boot.netif.netmask="255.255.255.0" to values obtained from BOOTP or DHCP, and the right things happen. I guess you could just set these in loader.conf or at the loader prompt. -- Bob Bishop rb@gid.co.uk
