Hi list,

I have successfully set up a client for diskless(8) booting.
However, this works only when booting from the first (onboard) nic.
When i use another nic, the kernel still tries to do revarp from the first nic, which fails.

sys/nfs/nfs_boot.c offers a possibility to override the default search:

/*
* Find a network interface.
*/
if (nfsbootdevname)
    ifp = ifunit(nfsbootdevname);
else <search loop>
...

but where/how can i set nfsbootdevname?

The boot.conf(8) manpage talks about passing options to the kernel via "set howto". Could i use that?
