Hi John,
On Tuesday, February 27, 2001, 12:18:09 PM, you babbled something about:
JW> Hi,
JW> I have a number of diskless linux boxes that currently boot from the
JW> network. Currently they boot from a floppy that has a kernel rdev'd to
JW> mount it's root filesystem from NFS. It sends out a bootp request to get
JW> it's IP from a dhcp server.
JW> I'd like to change this method to use a boot (p)rom on a network card.
JW> This way I don't need to have a separate kernel on a floppy for each
JW> machine. The kernel can be downloaded from the bootp/dhcp server.
JW> Anybody have any experience? esp. what ethernet cards and boot (p)roms
JW> work well with linux? Is it still the case that the boot prom needs to be
JW> burned or are there pre burned ones that work with linux?
JW> Thanks,
