Hello, In the docs there is mention of =91the easy way=92 to install is to use= a compact flash adaptor to preload the CF card with the software from a FreeBSD host with a CF adaptor. I don=92t have that, but I do have a W= indows 2000 laptop with a CF to PC Card adaptor. It is possible somehow to just image the software into the CF (I guess = the cf_tree/) by sticking the CF card in the laptop and using rawrite or something? Presumably, you need to create a FreeBSD filesystem on the = card, and have put the kernel in a bootable location (I guess the CF equivale= nt MBR)? Another question: I=92m confused by Step 1 of the PXE boot process, whe= re we are to configure the DHCP to supply =93pxeboot=94 as the boot filename.= Anyone have an example configuration of that? TIA Charlie |
