I've completed setting up tftpd and booptd as the FreeBSD handbook says to do, but the handbook doesn't say much about setting up netboot.com. I've finished compiling it, but what do I have to do to have the client computers run that at startup, rather than starting FreeBSD from their own hard drives, as they usually do?
