I would like to hear from anyone who has managed to use netboot to boot a
diskless FreeBSD kernel 1.1Beta.

I have only been able to do this with a Western Digital 8003 ethernet card.

I would like to know which cards you have been able to use on the client and
whether it has been necessary to modify the netboot code to do the boot.

Please email if you can help.

Thanks
