Date: Sun, 24 Nov 1996 17:53:39 +0000 Organization: Queen's University, Kingston Lines: 12 Message-ID: <32988BA3.2781E494@qlink.queensu.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: slip120.qlink.queensu.ca Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2-961014-SNAP i386) Does FreeBSD have bootp? Can I use it to boot another computer with freebsd over a network? I have two computers capable of running freebsd, two 3com 3c503 net cards, but only one hard disk. If I make a bos dootdisk, and then run nb3c503.com from it, will I be able to boot from the other FreeBSD box? The handbook says this has only been tried with HP and Sun boxes as the server. I know TFTP and NFS are there, what about bootp? Thanks
