Vaitl) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: FreeBSD as bootp server Date: 3 Jul 1994 08:45:35 GMT Organization: The Cyberspace Station (619) 634-1376 [HST14.4/V.32bis] Lines: 18 Sender: evaitl@milton.viasat.com Distribution: world Message-ID: <2v5trf$3fa@news.cerf.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: cyber.net Summary: looking for bootp.com Keywords: bootp FreeBSD At work we have a network of PC's running DOS/Windows and a recient addition of a couple of FreeBSD boxes. I remember a reference a while back about a program (bootp.com?) that could be used to bring up a DOS box as a dickless workstation using FreeBSD as a bootp server (and running a FreeBSD kernel). Does anyone have a pointer to such a beast? Is there something I should know in setting up the server that's not in the bootptab man page? I'm familiar with setting up basic network stuff like NFS and the host files, but it is easy to miss something. Thanks, Eric evaitl@milton.viasat.com
