Got ALL the info I need to setup a diskless server and have it run X. Thanks to all those who replied with some info. However. Now it comes down to booting the 386DX40 from the Pentium over the network. I have a NE2000 compatible ether on the 386 and have no luck getting it to boot over the ether. The port address is 0x300, IRQ is 5. - I have modified the Makefile in the netboot src dir as the comments say. ----- When I run 'netboot.com' on the 386, the machine just goes beep, beep, beep,...... until I reset it.
