Hi, I'm trying to get diskless boot working, but I'm struggling. I have two FreeBSD PCs, of which one is diskless. I have only one monitor, so I'm continuesly reconnecting the monitor from one PC to the other, to see what either the server or client is doing. Ideally I would like to monitor the boot process of the diskless client on the server via the serial port console. However, I do not seem to get that right. I am quite familiar with making installation disks for serial boot, by creating the boot.config on the floppy. But how does that translate to the diskless situation? Once I have this working, it'll be much easier for me to further investigate the diskless boot problems. Thanks, Rob.
