Hi, by chance, has anyone modified dosboot to pass the kernel nfs_diskless info, so that the kernel can mount root swap and other stuff over nfs ? i have to make some diskless system which use a de0 card, not supported by netboot. I can use fbsdboot to boot the kernel from a floppy (or a DOS partition) but fbsdboot has no option to build a proper nfs_diskless structure. I don't know how easy to do is this, as one would need to start the kernel first, and only afterwards the net is accessible. Are there any alternatives ?
