Thanks. This is one of the divergent areas in the two systems, unfortunately, but since I've been playing with NFS diskless on both *BSD systems I'll write it up. There are minor differences in the names of files etc that tftp looks for, and some more major differences in the interaction between the boot code and the kernel. If any kernel hacker cares to update the diskless boot code we could use the documentation as is, of course! Regards, Giles
