I'm in a situation, (again), where we'll be implementing several FreeBSD machines in a large production environment. To make this work though I need to be able to get something similar to Sun's "Jumpstart". I noticed that boot.flp has most of the functionality that I'm looking for, but I'm not exactly sure how it works. My questions: (*) Does anyone have the kernel config file for this? (*) How does it load the Memory File System? (*) Where is the MFS kept, how can I edit it's contents? I've looked at the image using the vn driver but wasn't able to get the above information. This will be done using hardware with a serial console and Intel's PXE functinality. I've read the "diskless howto", but it seems geared more towards diskless workstations and goes a bit further than I need it to and I'd like it to. Any and all hints, tips, or positive incantations are welcome. Thanks, Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
