For the ip address problem, hand the address out with your dhcp server that tells the diskless client where to get its boot file. The diskless client will keep that address as long as you don't have have ifconfig reconfigure it on boot up. If you need different config files, you could set that up with individualized directories on the nfs server or you could mount a partition from flash if you like. There are a lot of good tutorials on how to set up diskless. Once you figure out how it all works together it isn't too hard. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-diskle ss.html http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/ Alex
