Hello, I wonder about the possibility of booting FreeBSD in "dataless" mode. I mean that the hard disk is used only for loading the kernel and doing swap, while all the file systems (/, /var [one per client] and /usr [shared]) reside on an NFS server. Is this possible? Another solution could be to store / and /var on the local disk, and mount /usr from the server. In any case, I don't want to boot from the network, because this is supported only with a few network adapters. I read the FAQ and the handbook, but I couldn't find a clear answer to this question. -- JM ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jose M.
