Jerry (also cc'd to questions@freebsd.org),

I'm quite interested in getting FreeBSD set up to
allow hosting of Diskless FreeBSD based X-terminals. 
I've installed FreeBSD 4.1 a couple of times and am
slowly finding my way around it.  I wonder if you've
got time for a few questions?

FreeBSD supports something called PXEboot.  I think
this is something the Netcard has to implicitly
support and I don't have an cards that will do it.  Is
PXEboot any use to me?

I notice that src/sys/i386/boot/netboot no longer
exists.  What should I use in it's place to get
network cards booting?  I've come across etherboot. 
Is this now the preferred way of doing things?

Should I still use bootpd or move to the ISC DHCP v2
server?

Is there a more up to date (and in-depth) description
of how to build diskless Xterminals with FreeBSD
anywhere?  Are you planning on updating your page at
any stage?

Thanks heaps.
