Hi, all! I have two silly questions: 1. I have p1-75 with a small disk (40Mb), where I want to put kernel. And then want it to mount root from 192.168.1.1:/nfsroot, so diskless scripts located there took control and system should be running? The best could be if DHCP/BOOTP be avoided since there are such servers exist in our network and running on non-standard ports could become a nightmare... 2. I have old Compaq LTE Elite 486 notebook without hard drive (no disk cage, so no possibility to put hard drive inside), and 3c589 PCMCIA ethernet card - is it possible to make it netbooting? Floppy works, so is it possible to make X terminal from it, booting kernel from floppy and mounting NFS root? Server is DEC Ultrix system (DECstation 5000/200), if it is interesting. Thanks a lot beforehand!!! S.
