Does FreeBSD have the ability to do this with the ftp install? - Sure does... along with IPV6 too! :) Rick, So, how do I use the ftp floppies to provide the hostname as a parameter to dhcp? Is it going to prompt me for extra parameters or am I gonna need to vi ifup and tack on a -h MYHOSTNAME to pump/dhcpc or something else?
