Hi, where can I find more info about netbooting?
I have read what is in the handbook, but it is pretty minimal, 
anyone know where I can find more complete info?

Can freeBSD be used as a server?  That is, does it have bootp?
I know tftp and nfs are there, but the handbook says it has only been
tested with HP or Sun systems as the boot server.

Thanks for you help

Jake
