A lot of this document could point to other documentation, in particular: - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/boot.html - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.htmlC - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-inetd.html - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-dhcp.html 31.8.1: 5. Assuming that inetd.conf is vanilla, all you need to do is uncomment the line with '^#tftp' in it. 9. mergemaster does some magic that make distribution doesn't. 31.8.3: 1. isc-dhcp30-server is no longer available in ports / as a package. It should be isc-dhcp31-server, isc-dhcp41-server, or isc-dhcp42-server. 31.8.4: - Should suggest that users read loader(8). Thanks! -Garrett
