My goal is to put FreeBSD 4.0 on the IOpener SanDisk with a minimal read-only kernel + MFS and mount a shared /usr over a NetGear EA101 USB network adaptor. I would like to run NFS, NIS and DHCP for central admining of a dozen of these machines. I want to do something similar to Luigi Rizzo's setup ( http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/diskless.html ) Is this a feasable setup? Things for me to grasp still have mostly to do with kernel+MFS, SanDisk and how best to slap it on there so it is bootable: A. SanDisk slicing, minimal installation and the SanDisk MBR? (is there an equivalent to LILO w/ fbsd?) B. Custom 4.0 kernel config options for SanDisk and NetGear USB ethernet (and maybe the Yamaha YMF715 onboard sound?) C. Is there some special /dev entries for the SanDisk and USB ethernet? D. Hopefully elminate writing to the SanDisk (mount /var over the network? or turn /var writing off? put /var in a 2-4MB MFS?) I don't need hand holding, but I could use some pointers on were to find the M in RTFM.... ;) Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
