Date: 26 Feb 1993 11:31:59 GMT Organization: EUnet Backbone, Dortmund, Germany Lines: 16 Distribution: world Message-ID: <1mkv3f$bu3@Germany.EU.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: qwerty.germany.eu.net Hi all, quite recently when I was browsing through /usr/include I came across a file called nfsdiskless.h. There were some nice things in there that suggest it might be possible to boot 386bsd (off a floppy, probably) and the nmake it use NFS root and swap partitions. Would anyone care to comment on the state of this ? Is this partially implemented, does one just need to give some magik option to config to make it work, or is that just a stub for future glory ? Any hints welcome. Thanks, Bernard
