Netboot code is available at /usr/src/sys/i386/netboot, which call for a SMC/WD 80x3 for the client. i have a COMPEX network adaptor which emulate 80x3 well and had set 0x280, 0xd000, irq 5. I think you may be confused. This is code for enabling FreeBSD to boot as a diskless _client_, not a server! For that you need bootp. Jordan -- Jordan K. Hubbard FreeBSD core team Friend to mollusks
