PXE Questions

2004-08-31 Thread admin2
I'm starting to use PXE to install FreeBSD servers, something I've been doing with Linux for a while. I've got installs working, but I'm running into a few flexibility issues I hope have been addressed. While I use DHCP to install the server, the server should not attempt to boot DHCP when reboot
