I have a couple of diskless -CURRENT machines hosted off another 3.x-C box -- they're "full-featured", but very lightly loaded. I can keep the host updated fairly easily through the standard CVSUP->buildworld->installworld methods, but am having a rough time with the diskless machines... The server is a PII-400, and the diskless boxes are 486/66 & 486/100 -- obviously, I'd like the -400 to do the compiles..... :)
I keep running into problems with file flags, missing files, etc. when I try to do an installworld on the diskless machines (with /usr/src and /usr/obj NFS-mounted from the server)... Is there any way that I can tell the server to do an installworld, but give it a different directory than / to "base" the install on? (I want it to use /tftpboot/holly, for example.) I probably could do something with chroot(8), but that introduces other problems with having to duplicate lots of directories. --mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
