And replace it with what? BOOTP is the only way to get an NFS :> root and swap. : :Sun uses reverse ARP to do this. Reverse ARP _is_ a hack, but it _is_ :an alternative to BOOTP. : :Peter Mmm. Well, I suppose, but it isn't going to be any less complex because rarp does not support all the require features natively. BOOTP is a very simple protocol. You can't get much simpler and the kernel root fs portion of the implementation is going to wind up being the same anyway. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
