However, I wish to have FreeBSD boxes network boot using a 100Mb ethernet card, preferably using the Intel EtherExpress Pro. Has anybody done this? If so, could they please offer some instructions. I've found Netboot and Etherboot but both these only claim to support Linux. It looks to me that they might be useable with FreeBSD, has anybody tried? Thanks in advance for your help. Andrew.
