Hello. I do some tests on a diskless machine and I get no success on it. I have to install a bunch of diskless X11 terminals (custom made) based on standard hardware. As NIC we have Intel EtherExpress PRO 10/100+ adaptors (fxp). They have all the same freshly updated PXE boot PROM (flash) version 4.0.12 from Intel (PXE-standard 2.0). I already set up bootp and tftp (as I did this three years ago using netboot image to boot several PCs into a diskless workstation, that worked well!). I use now this NIC without success using bootpd and tftpd on a FreeBSD box, but with success with ISC DHCPD. Why? Is PXE explicitely using some advantages of DHCP or is there a configuration trick in bootptab? I want to use bootp and tftp because it's standard in FreeBSD. Thanks for helping ... Oliver - MfG O.
