Well, I for one, and I suspect the rest of the OpenBSD community, will be very pleased to see the results of your work. Currently, there is no way (that I've found) to remoteboot OpenBSD on i386. A second stage loader like Grub, that's capable of booting so many different OS's would be a godsend. I've not done any assembler for 10 years so I doubt I'd be able to help you write any code, but I'll offer my services for testing & suggestions if you think it'll help. -- Ian Cass Knowledge Matters Ltd www.knowledge.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonas Oberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2000 8:50 PM Subject: PXE > I just took the liberty of adding myself to this list.
