at stage 1, the diskless host sends out a bootp/dhcp request, the dhcpd servers sends back some packets, and pxeloader gets tftp'ed.
i modified libstand/bootp.c to place all the tags - that dhcp provides - in the kernel environmet, so that they can be used later - eg in rc.diskless1. what if: we place the rc.conf[.local] there? in the dhcpd.conf: option rc-conf "132.65.16.100:/d/4/etc/rc.conf" and so - automagicaly - `kenv rc.conf.diskless_root_readonly` or kenv | grep rc.conf | sed 's/rc.conf.//' > rc.conf i'll work now on the 'automagicaly' part :-) danny To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
