I was a bit surprised to see 'vr0', since PXE is almost always used with fxp drivers. > > Normally if you're using pxeboot for diskless > > booting, there's no need for the kernel or userspace to use DHCP: they > > inherit the DHCP settings provided by the pxeboot loader using the kernel > > environment.

Our PXE booting support isn't really the same as the traditional diskless booting environment. If we don't have a PXE manpage, we probably should have one, since it's actually pretty easy to use. I use PXE booting extensively in my test environment, and it makes life much, much easier. I'm sure we have some worked examples posted around, but if not, I can post the details of my configuration.
