This should get you started with booting linux via PXE: http://www.splashground.de/~andy/linux/tftpboot.tar.gz Unpack as the root of you tftp server and add to your dhcp.conf: "filename /pxelinux.0". Edit tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg accordingly. -- Andy _______________________________________________ freebsd-performance@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-performance To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
