I havent actually had FreeBSD/alpha installed yet, so I didnt know there was a /boot/netboot. I grabbed it out of the install bin.?? set w/ tar and tried the netboot. The FreeBSD/alpha SRM loader comes up, and this seems to load the NetBSD/alpha netboot install. I say this, because it complains that "boot: boot device name does not contain ethernet address" and goes on to tell you that in the NetBSD/alpha distro you can code the enet addr into the image w/ the setnetbootinfo command. I checked out FreeBSD bin.?? set again and didnt see this, so I'll have to grab it from NetBSD, see if I can run it on my AlphaServer 300 (another alpha i have running RedHat5.2 right now) and go from there. -Shawn On Mon, 19 Jul 1999, Doug Rabson wrote: > On Sun, 18 Jul 1999, Shawn Kelly O Shea wrote: > > > > > I'm trying to netboot an AlphaStation 200 (avanti).
