Dear Tech Support,

Am trying to setup a diskless workstation using an ethernet card with a
boot ROM.

The server is running FreeBSD 2.2.1.

The workstation when powered up should:
	1. Find the server
	2. Copy and OS to itself
	3. Load and execute a simple Java capable browser
	4. Retrieve an html file from the server and display it

Hopefully, this can be achieved within FreeBSD and 16 megs of
workstation RAM.

This is my first foray into the world of boot ROMs.

Can you help me out with this? I'd really appreciate it.

Thank You, Clark

PS I love my new FreeBSD.
