While it's not terribly relevant to the problem at hand, this is somewhat inaccurate. Using UDP does not mean that TFTP supports broadcasts; it means that TFTP can support broadcasts if it chooses - as it happens, TFTP did choose to. And while the broadcast support may mean that some particular TFTP client at hand need not be configured with a server address (and thus may not be inaccurate in a "booting FreeBSD" context), that is a property of the particular TFTP client in question; there are TFTP clients that require a server name/address. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
