|
|
To netboot a \*M, you must configure one or more servers to provide
|
|
information and files to your \*M (the
|
|
.Sq client ).
|
|
If you are using
|
|
.Nx
|
|
(any architecture) on your netboot server(s), the information
|
|
provided here should be sufficient to configure everything.
|
|
Additionally, you may wish to look at the
|
|
.Xr diskless 8
|
|
manual page and the manual pages for each daemon you'll be configuring.
|
|
If the server(s) are another operating system, you should consult the
|
|
NetBSD Diskless HOW-TO, which will walk you through the steps necessary to
|
|
configure the netboot services on a variety of platforms.

Next, it downloads and executes the bootstrap program.

The bootstrap program goes through another discovery phase to determine

where the kernel is located.

on one machine called

with the client's files exported from the directory

You should, of course, replace all of these with the names, addresses,

|
and paths appropriate to your environment.
