Yes. It can be done. It's a matter of enabling DHCP and TFTP and configuring each with the correct parameters. FreeBSD is capable of being an NFS/TFTP server and serving out any netboot image that will work with DHCP. Don't have any links to recommend off the top of my head, but I would expect a little google searching should turn some stuff up. You don't really need FreeBSD-specific instructions, just adjust when the config files are in different places. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
