Hi, Thanks, I have incorporated most of your feedback and have updated the page= : http://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/doc/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/n= etwork-pxe-nfs.html and patch: http://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/pxe/freebsd-pxe.txt I originally thought about modifying the existing : http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-diskless.html page, but decided to make a separate one, that could be easily hyperlinked = to. The network-diskless.html page is good, but I found that it has too much general information on diskless booting, and covers many topics, such as Etherboot. Having a separate page dedicated to PXE + NFS root make the information easier to find and hyperlink to is useful. I hope to help people doing bringup/board work with FreeBSD, where this kind of information is handy. -- Craig Rodrigues rodrigc@crodrigues.org On Mon, Aug 29, 2011 at 11:08 PM, Garrett Cooper <yanegomi@gmail.com> wrote= : > > A lot of this document could point to other documentation, in particular: > > - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/boot.html > - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.htmlC > - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-inetd.html > - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-dhcp.html > > 31.8.1: > > 5.
