[-- Attachment #1 --] I running Freebsd 3.2 Stable as a print server and need to configure BOOTP to serve 2 HP JetDirect printer cards. I've read the Handbook on diskless booting FreeBSD over the network. Can FreeBSD be used as a server for HP JetDirect cards? And if so, what do I need to do on my FreeBSD printer sever? So far I have included BOOTP option in my kernel and recompiled. I now get a BOOTP timeout for server on my NIC???? I have uncommented the tftp and bootps lines in the inetd.conf file, made a bootptab for my JetDirect card. Anything else? I would really like to use FreeBSD as the main network OS, and getting BOOTP to work is a must. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely, Michael P.
